Material and software

We expect all attendants to have installed the latest stable release of mc_rtc available on GitHub.

Installation instructions are provided in mc_rtc website in the installation guide.

Assuming you have an Ubuntu LTS version installed and a ROS distribution selected, that is:

# Setup the mirror
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/mc-rtc/stable/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
# Install packages
sudo apt install libmc-rtc-dev mc-rtc-utils
# Assuming you have a ROS distribution mirror setup
sudo apt install ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-mc-rtc-plugin ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-mc-rtc-tools

Pre-installed computers

We will be coming to the conference with a small number of computers with mc_rtc already installed. Please contact us us in advance to use such a machine.

Virtual machine

You can also download a virtual machine with all software already installed. This image can be loaded in most virtualization softwares.

If you want to use this option but cannot download this image before the tutorial day, we will give you a copy on the day.
