Installation
Make sure you have re-indexed the ROS.org server:
sudo apt-get update
Choose your preferred install:
PR2: ROS plus PR2-specific stacks, including PR2 simulator.
sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-pr2
or click here
Note: You will get a prompt about hddtemp: you can safely answer no to the prompt if you are not installing on an actual PR2. To avoid getting the prompt, you can set the debconf selection ahead of time:
echo "hddtemp hddtemp/daemon boolean false" | sudo debconf-set-selections
PR2 All: ROS plus PR2 and bleeding edge research/experimental stacks.
sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-pr2all
or click here
Note: You will get a prompt about hddtemp: you can safely answer no to the prompt if you are not installing on an actual PR2. To avoid getting the prompt, you can set the debconf selection ahead of time:
echo "hddtemp hddtemp/daemon boolean false" | sudo debconf-set-selections
Environment setup
It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:
echo "source /opt/ros/diamondback/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc . ~/.bashrc
If you have more than one ROS distribution installed, ~/.bashrc must only source the setup.bash for the version you are currently using.
If you just want to change the environment of your current shell, you can type:
source /opt/ros/diamondback/setup.bash
