Installing STRLite

Installing ROS Kinetic Kame

1. Configure the Ubuntu repositories. There are four repositories in Ubuntu: Main, Universe, Restricted and Multiverse. To install ROS we should enable access to the entire repositories.

2. Set up your source.list. It adds the ROS repository informatino where the binaries are stored. Just execute the following commands in a terminal:

   $ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

3. Add the keys. The following is the command to add the keys:

   $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116

4. Update the Ubuntu package list.

   $ sudo apt-get update

5. Install ROS Kinetic packages.

   $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full

6. Initialize rosdep. It is used for installing the dependent packages of a ROS package.

   $ sudo rosdep init

   $ rosdep update

7. Set the ROS environment. To access the ROS packages and command-line tools we have to set up the ROS environment. The following command adds a line in the .bashrc file (this file is in home folder), which sets the ROS environment in every new terminal.

   $ echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

   The .bashrc file runs in every new terminal so the following command sets the environment in the current terminal:

   $ source ~/.bashrc

8. Set up dependencies for building the package.

   $ sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool build-essential

Installing Rosbridge

1. Install rosbridge. Use the following command:

   $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosbridge-server

Seting up PostgreSQL

2. Open the PostgreSQL console:
