In section 3 Automatic bringup with launch script
This command gets permission error:
ubuntu@AUDACITY:~/osr_ws/src/osr-rover-code/init_scripts$ ln -s $(pwd)/launch_osr.sh /usr/local/bin/launch_osr.sh
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/launch_osr.sh': Permission denied
possibly because /usr/local/bin is owned by root.
Using sudo... allows it.
Same with:
ln -s $(pwd)/osr_paths.sh /usr/local/bin/osr_paths.sh
Also - in the osr_startup.service command table, the underscore between osr and startup doesn't display.
The fix should either use sudo or (probably better), move the scripts to ~/bin (which may not exist yet)
This has been fixed, the command is run with sudo now.
