Installing docker and docker-compose

• Follow instructions in here to install docker on your machine. You should have Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04. If you have Ubuntu 14.04 follow instruction here instead (not tested).
• Add your user to the docker group:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

• Install docker-compose by following instruction for linux here.

Tips

• When inside the docker, you will have a working version of ROS Kinetic with osmesa driver installed.
• No changes in the files inside the docker will be preserved except changes done to the /workspace directory.
• If you need any extra packages to be installed, you should modify deploy/Dockerfile and add the package to the end of the file.
