preconditions for first installation

• installed OS on QBO: Debian/Stretch
• installed ROS on QBO: ROS Kinetic
• for Raspbian install, try to use alternative install guide: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Installing%20ROS%20Kinetic%20on%20the%20Raspberry%20Pi
• this project uses a python based action server following the instructions here: http://docs.ros.org/en/hydro/api/catkin/html/user_guide/setup_dot_py.html
• this project requires as a dependency: actionlib git-repo (https://github.com/ros/actionlib / branch: indigo-devel)
• this project requires rosdep installation following: https://wiki.ros.org/rosdep

steps to create the catkin workspace with ROS

1. "mkdir –p /opt/QBO/catkin_ws/src"
2. "cd /opt/QBO/catkin_ws/src"
3. "catkin_init_workspace"
4. checkout this git repo in the src-dir
5. checkout the actionlib git repo (https://github.com/ros/actionlib / branch: indigo-devel) in the src-dir
6. "cd ~/catkin_ws/"
7. "catkin_make" (first build of actionlib will take some time)
8. "source /opt/QBO/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash"
9. "echo "source /opt/QBO/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc"
10. "rosdep install -y --from-paths /opt/QBO/catkin_ws --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -r --os=debian:stretch" (from workspace, needs a root user terminal or "sudo" command depending on local setup, use "pkexec su" to login console as root!)
11. "catkin_create_pkg rxt_skills_qbo std_msgs actionlib rospy roscpp"

start with

1. "roscore"
2. "rosrun rxt_skills_qbo [name_of_python_file.py]"
