Installation
- There have two options install roch ROS packages, choose one of these for install.
Full installation
Debain installation
For Debain installation, you can type under command.
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-roch-bringup ros-indigo-roch-navigation ros-indigo-roch-teleop ros-indigo-roch-follower ros-indigo-roch-rapps ros-indigo-roch-robot ros-indigo-roch-simulator ros-indigo-roch-viz
Source installation
For source installation, you can enter following command.
> sudo apt-get install python-rosdep python-wstool ros-indigo-ros > sudo rosdep init > rosdep update
If you created catkin workspace can skip under command, otherwise type following command:
> mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src > cd ~/catkin_ws
Compile code:
> wstool init -j5 src https://raw.github.com/Soy-Robotics/roch_robot/indigo/roch.rosinstall > rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y > catkin_make
Optional installation
- Roch package contains applications of ROS packages, like roch_navigation, roch_follower and roch_teleop etc.
2. Installation with roch_robot
- Roch_robot package includes package lik drivers, roch_base, roch_ftdi, roch_bringup and roch_sensorpc etc.
3. Installation with roch_simulator
- Roch_simulator package has almost simulators, New simulator will be released in the future.
- Roch_viz is just for show roch in Rviz.

Software
AutoRoch is a GUI tool for beginners which is developed independently by Soy Robotics, it can help beginners quickly understand ROS and the working principle of the Roch, more information please visit: http://wiki.ros.org/autoroch.
We encourage you to use this GUI program, at the same time is also encourage you to submit the problems existing with using the program. Abort bugs report, please click https://github.com/Soy-Robotics/AutoRoch/issues/new.
The test version is currently available, and the official version will be released later.
