Software

Software will be by far the most tedious part of this whole setup. Everything in terms of setting up the software and getting it to run will be written here and after this section further sections in the wiki will define how to modify the software and tune everything correctly. If you would like you can skip ahead and do the tuning now or do it after.

##Installing The Workspace The first thing you'll want to do is cd into your SSD in my case cd /xavier_ssd/ and clone the repo to there. To do this do git clone https://github.com/Rafcin/Echo-Rover.git and wait for it to download.

Next you need to build the whole workspace so you'll run catkin build . where the dot represents all items like * on ubuntu represents all. Now keep in mind instead of using catkin_make like most people do, we will use catkin build becuase it works much better and is able to tell you more about what you compile. If you want to know more about catkin build refer to here and read the cheatsheet.
