Installation

This assumes that ROS is already installed. You additionally need to source the ROS environment by calling source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash. This will set the paths to the ROS libraries and node executables.

Install the GoPiGo3 Python Libraries

• sudo curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_gopigo3 | bash

Create a new catkin workspace:

• cd ~
• mkdir -p gopigo3_ws/src
• cd gopigo3_ws/src

Check out the source for the node and build:

• cd gopigo3_node
• sudo mv * ~/gopigo3_ws/src
• cd ~/gopigo3_ws/
• rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y
• catkin_make

Add the GoPiGo3 environment variable to the ~/.bashrc file and make it effective.

• echo "source ~/gopigo3_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
• source ~/.bashrc
• cd ~/gopigo3_ws
• source devel/setup.bash
