INSTALLING AN OFFICIAL ROS PACKAGE
Login into Erle-Brain and go to the trusty chroot where ROS is installed. Assuming that you’re
connected through the miniUSB terminal (same could be done through WiFi, Ethernet, …):
ssh ubuntu@192 . 1 6 8 . 7 . 2 # p a s s w o r d ” ubuntu ”
( E r l e R o b o t i c s ) ubuntu@localhost : ~ / t r u s t y $
( E r l e R o b o t i c s ) ubuntu@localhost : ~ / t r u s t y $ cd t r u s t y
( E r l e R o b o t i c s ) ubuntu@localhost : ~ / t r u s t y $ sudo . / chroot . sh
root@localhost : /
Our Snappy images include an inner Trusty ﬁle system to simplify ROS installation and maintainance (Note: this will soon change into a formal Vivid installation as soon as packages become available). This inner ﬁle system allows you to easily install ROS packages using:
root@localhost : /
apt−get i n s t a l l ros−i n d i g o −<ros−package−name>
For example, let’s install the serial ROS package from the build farm:
root@localhost : /

apt−get i n s t a l l ros−i n d i g o −s e r i a l
COMPILING A ROS PACKAGE FROM SOURCE
Let’s assume you created a new ROS package (e.g.: ros_erle_takeoff_land) and you’d like to compile it natively. Here’s how you would do it:

Great! now you’re all set to compile the package (whole trace available here):

We used a catkin workspace for this example but you could also install the package at /opt/ros/indigo and make it available from the outer ﬁle system (Snappy Ubuntu Core).

CREATING AN APP FROM A ROS PACKAGE
All right, so now we have a ROS package compiled and you want to ship this package as an app.
How would you do this?:

After the dependencies have been computed and the snap structure created just create the
app:
e x i t # e x i t from t h e c h r o o t
su # g e t s u p e r u s e r p r i v i l e g e s
cd r o o t / c a t k i n _ w s
# copy t h e p a c k a g e t o a more f r i e n d l y p l a c e
cp −r i n s t a l l _ i s o l a t e d / / home / ubuntu /
e x i t # g e t o u t o f t h e i n n e r c h r o o t t o c r e a t e t h e snap
cd ~
sudo snappy b u i l d i n s t a l l _ i s o l a t e d
A ros2snap_0.1_armhf.snap package should be created.
The same process could be done outside of Erle-Brain using an external chroot in your development machine. Refer to these instructions.
