Installation
Scripts for Quick Installation of RobotDART¶
In this page we provide standalone scripts for installing RobotDART for Ubuntu (>=20.04), OSX and beta support for Windows (via WSL). The scripts will install all the required dependencies and RobotDART. Notably, all dependencies that need to be compiled by source and RobotDART will be installed inside the /opt folder. This way, one can be rest assured that their system will be clean.
Video recording to file¶
ffmpeg is needed for enabling the video recording capabilities. You can install this at any time using your favorite package manager (e.g. apt for Ubuntu or brew for Mac OSX).
Ubuntu >=20.04¶
To quickly install RobotDART on Ubuntu >=20.04, we just need to run ./scripts/install_ubuntu.sh from the root of the repo. In more detail:
git clone https://github.com/resibots/robot_dart.gitcd robot_dart./scripts/install_ubuntu.sh
This will install everything needed! Once the script is successfully executed, one should add the following to their ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file (you may need to swap the python version to yours1):
export PATH=/opt/magnum/bin:$PATH
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/robot_dart:/opt/magnum
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/magnum/lib:/opt/robot_dart/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/robot_dart/lib/python3.10/site-packages:/opt/magnum/lib/python3/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
Beta Windows support via WSL¶
The installation script for Ubuntu works also in WSL (with the Ubuntu base image). There might be some issues with the graphical interface (see here).
OSX¶
To quickly install RobotDART on Mac OSX, we just need to run ./scripts/install_osx.sh from the root of the repo. In more detail:
git clone https://github.com/resibots/robot_dart.gitcd robot_dart./scripts/install_osx.sh
This will install everything needed! Once the script is successfully executed, one should add the following to their ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file (you may need to swap the python version to yours1):
export PATH=/opt/magnum/bin:$PATH
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/robot_dart:/opt/dart:/opt/magnum
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/magnum/lib:/opt/dart/lib:/opt/robot_dart/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/magnum/lib:/opt/dart/lib:/opt/robot_dart/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/dart:/opt/dart/lib/python3/dist-packages:/opt/robot_dart/lib/python3.12/site-packages:/opt/magnum/lib/python3/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
