Installing Truck Simulator¶

Note

Prerequisites – The following is required for installation of simulator.

ROS Indigo needs to be installed before you can use these instructions. You can find a guide for installing it here.

Install wstool and rosdep.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-wstool python-rosdep ninja-build

Create a new workspace in ‘catkin_ws’.

cd ~
mkdir catkin_ws
cd catkin_ws
wstool init src

Merge the minireach.rosinstall file and fetch code for dependencies.

wstool merge -t src https://github.com/samiamlabs/minireach_install/raw/master/minireach.rosinstall
wstool update -t src

Install deb dependencies.

sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro=${ROS_DISTRO} -y -r

Source ROS if you have not already sourced the main ROS environment:

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

Build

catkin_make_isolated --use-ninja
source devel_isolated/setup.bash

Test

rospack profile
roslaunch minireach_gazebo monosim.launch
