If you have a different Linux or ROS distro than specified requirements, you may prefer to use a Docker container. To do that, an example Ubuntu 20.04 with ROS Noetic Docker container implementation for a PC with Intel i7-1165G7 CPU (no Discreet GPU) and Ubuntu 22.04 is explained. In any case, you should try to implement it according to your system with external sources. This method is not guaranteed to work perfectly in your system.
Install the Docker by the following link
NOTE: sudo commands in front of docker are removed in the following scripts. If you have errors regarding to this, you may need to add the user to the docker group or add sudo in front of the docker commands in the scripts which are already there but commented out. To add the user to the docker group, you can check the following tutorial
Open a terminal (will be mentioned as T1) and create a directory preferably in the home location as
mkdir -p sabes_ws
cd sabes_ws
Clone the project repository (T1)
git clone git@github.com:cemkucukgenc/darknet_ros_3D_v1.git
On docker/create_container.sh, change line 4 to your catkin_ws_path and line 11 to your shared volume path.
On docker/continue_container.sh, change the line 4 as your catkin_ws_path.
Bonus: The rosource.sh is created to source the catkin_ws_path easily. If you want to use that too; on docker/rosource.sh, change line 3 to your catkin_ws_path.
Pull the corresponding Docker image, in this case for ROS Noetic (T1)
sudo docker pull osrf/ros:noetic-desktop-full
Create the necessary Docker image sabes_image_noetic (T1)
cd docker
sudo docker image build -t sabes_image_noetic .
Make the shell scripts executable (T1)
sudo chmod +x create_container.sh
sudo chmod +x continue_container.sh
Create the Docker container sabes_container_noetic (T1)
./create_container.sh
Congrats! Your container is created and the shared volume is already including the local project directory. Use this container to run the project.
Here are some useful commands that will be needed in the further steps of running the project on the Docker container. Docker container will no longer be explained, you should be able to set up, reach, or delete the containers by yourself with this information.
To reach the container on another terminal
cd sabes_ws/darknet_ros_3d_v2/docker
./continue_container.sh
or
sudo docker exec -it sabes_container_noetic bash
To list and delete the image
sudo docker images
sudo docker image rm sabes_image_noetic
To list and delete the container
sudo docker ps -a
sudo docker stop sabes_container_noetic
sudo docker rm sabes_container_noetic
