Installing the software
In the following it is assumed that there is a catkin workspace created in
∼/catkin ws
into which the forklift packages are checkout out. If another catkin folder is used just replace it in the following command. To checkout and compile the forklift software run in a command shell:
cd ∼/catkin ws/src git clone http://github.com/youbot/youbot forklift.git cd .. catkin make
This should compile without any errors. It is not possible to install the software via debian packages and apt-get commands yet.
