EMOS v0.6.1
EMOS v0.6.1 — pixi Install Mode & Documentation
pixi Install Mode (Experimental)
EMOS can now be installed entirely in userspace using pixi — no root, no Docker, no pre-installed ROS2. Works on any Linux distro (amd64/arm64), including Ubuntu 22.04 where Jazzy isn't officially supported.
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/automatika-robotics/emos.git
cd emos && pixi install && pixi run setupROS2 Jazzy and all dependencies are pulled as pre-built packages from RoboStack and conda-forge. The CLI (emos status, emos run, emos update) fully supports the new mode.
