Open Source Framework for Robotics and Creative Machine Control
Project Website: http://myrobotlab.org
You will need Java 11 or newer. If you are only running MyRobotLab you need the JRE (Java Runtime Environment.) If you are going to be building from source, you'll need the JDK (Java Development Kit) Oracle or OpenJDK will work
Download
latest Nixie 1.1.X
stable Manticore 1.0.2693
After downloading and unzipping myrobtlab.zip into a new folder, start the appropriate script
myrobotlab.sh
myrobotlab.bat
The first time the script runs it will automatically install all services and their dependencies, then it will launch myrobotlab. The subsequent starting of myrobotlab will skip the installation stage. If a browser does not automatically start you can go to http://localhost:8888 to see the web user interface.
MyRobotLab core is written in Java. Its web ui is written in AngularJs and html.
And a few services (e.g. InMoov2) are in a different repo. The can be developed seperately so 3 build instruction sets are described.
All development environments require git and cloning the source.
create a directory to clone the repositories in (assuming you're on windows and cloning to the c:\dev directory)
mkdir c:\dev
cd dev
git clone https://github.com/MyRobotLab/myrobotlab.git
cd c:\dev\myrobotlab
If you want to be making core changes, you will need to install a Java developement environment

Download Eclipse for Java Developers At: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/
MyRobotLab builds using the Apache Maven java build system.
Download Maven At: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
To compile and build a myrobotlab.jar first : ensure that "mvn" (maven version 3.3+ is installed and in the path)
mvn clean install
This should produce a local build for you "myrobotlab.jar" file will be located at
myrobotlab/target/myrobotlab.jar
If you want to compile and skip the tests, you can use the standard maven approach
mvn clean install -DskipTests
All development is done on the develop branch. To contribute code, the typical approach is to create an issue about the feature/bug you're working on.
From Github create a branch based off the "develop" branch with a descriptive name (and associated Issue number if available) Locally switch to the new branch Make code changes Commit & Push (frequently!) When code is ready, submit a pull request to the develop branch! Enjoy the code review, address issues and concern in the code review Reviewer merges pull request to develop. Reviewer deletes branch.
