Install manuals

Ubuntu real time kernel

Setting up the realtime kernel: [1] If error regarding signature of kernel is thrown, use these extra steps to create a signed kernel: [2] + disable secure boot in BIOS

ORCA

Installation of ORCA and dependencies: [3] Note, installation of ORCA will also install iDynTree, qpOASES and Eigen3. Alternatively one could install the dependencies manually.

• git clone https://github.com/syroco/orca
• cd orca
• mkdir build ; cd build
• cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
• cmake --build .
• sudo cmake --build . --target install

Depending on the installation, libaries and header files in subdirectories named with a version number may not be found. Symbolic links may be required for the package to work:

• sudo ln -s /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen /usr/include/Eigen
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/eigen3/unsupported /usr/include/unsupported
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/gazebo-9/gazebo /usr/include/gazebo
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/sdformat-6.0/sdf /usr/include/sdf
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/ignition/common1/ignition/common /usr/include/ignition/common
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/ignition/common1/ignition/common.hh /usr/include/ignition/common.hh
• sudo ln -s /usr/include/ignition/fuel_tools1/ignition/fuel_tools /usr/include/ignition/fuel_tools

Gazebo

Gazebo-ros installed with ros melodic, thus manual install currently not needed. Manual install can be done via: curl -ssL http://get.gazebosim.org | sh

Notes

sudo apt --fix-broken install check_urdf /path/to/file.urdf can be used to check urdf file itself

Simulating fixed based panda robot needs a intermediate link (e.g. a table) between robot base and world (workaround)
