Installation
#Installation# To do any development you must have a personal computer or BeagleBone Black running Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (14.04) and ROS Indigo Igloo (versions may change).
If you are using a personal computer, you have three options. The first is to install virtual machine software, such as VMWare Player. This is the least intrusive on your system, but offers the least benefits in terms of performance. The second is to dual boot your current OS and Linux. The third is to format your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Linux. If this is your first time I recommend installing Ubuntu using a virtual machine.
If you are using a lab BeagleBone Black, you should create your own installation on a microSD card. Contact the beaglebone Slack channel and we will get you one. Alternatively, each BeagleBone Black has 4GB of onboard eMMC, which is preferable if we have enough boards for everyone that needs one.
