Installation Instructions

The use of this package requires the installation of ROS, ideally Indigo or Jade (tested), or later. Refer to the ROS tutorials for further information. To set up the planner copy it to your catkin workspace and initialize the submodules:

git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/nbvplanner.git
cd nbvplanner
git submodule init --
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --recursive
cd ..

Moreover, make sure you have all the necessary libraries:

apt-get install ros-<distro>-octomap-*
apt-get install python-catkin-tools

Now make sure you build in Release and compile your workspace:

catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
catkin build

You are ready to run the planner.
