#ROS MAC OS X PRO#
There is a way to run a docker container that runs a Gazebo server ( gzserver) and then have the stuff displayed on your MacBook Pro with a gzclient, which is very useful. For that, you may want to use Ubuntu just because Gazebo works really well with that. To avoid this, be really careful about upgrading packages through homebrew! Another issue is that you will not be able to run simulation software. This causes the dynamic libraries to run into errors a lot (you will see "can't find dyld" errors a lot just because of homebrew), which can cause issues with binary and source installations. For example, certain versions of the ROS2 binary are built with python 3.7, but homebrew upgrades to the latest python 3.8 stable. However, the previously mentioned issue with homebrew extends to other dependencies. If you don't mind sticking with older versions of macOS, you can use the binary installation versions just fine. And this is not necessarily Qt's fault (it mostly kind of is), but every version of Qt upgraded through homebrew ends up breaking something for the source (or binary) installation. I do recommend doing the source installation since the only issues I run into when doing a it is with Qt. If you want ROS2, then a local installation will work just fine. So for MacBook Pro users, I suggest the following: As another poster stated, however, this comes at the expense of a larger library of packages. The learning curve is much harder if you don't understand how ROS as a middleware is supposed to be used ("Ok, I learned ROS.so what does this have to do with robots?" is a common refrain and it is something the OSF is trying to address).
#ROS MAC OS X HOW TO#
Unfortunately, this ended up complicating how to do stuff. Many of the issues around performance, multi-agent systems, and distributed computing that were harder to implement on ROS1 are much easier to do on ROS2. Personally, I suggest using ROS2 instead of ROS1 because the system just works much better than ROS1. It depends on what you want to do, or which version of ROS you want to use. Once you wrap your head around the nuts and bolts, build systems etc, getting into ROS2 is worth it. ROS has many more packages for you to test off of Github repos / Arxiv papers and is pretty heavily being used in academia and industry right now. There's nvidia-docker but you need an nvidia gpu for it.ĭocker is a very valuable tool to standardize your testing environment without building stuff every time.ĭon't mess with ROS2 for now, adoption has been slow, I've been following it for 2 years. VM's give terrible performance, you're better off dual booting if docker wouldn't suit your purpose (I haven't tried exposing USB ports/devices from a macOS host to a ROS on ubuntu docker, but it works well from Ubuntu host running a ROS on Ubuntu docker). Follow the ROS support guidelines (link is in the sidebar).Īlso see reddit's rules and the ROS etiquette.Īs others have mentioned, docker is a good option especially if you don't plan on using GPU heavy stuff like Gazebo simulations. If you need help about something, ask specific questions and provide as much information as possible, including the error message (as text) if applicable.If /r/ROS turns into /r/ROSmemes, then we will reconsider this rule as a community. As long as you follow rules 2 and 3, you can post memes.Memes are allowed make sure to also follow rules 2 and 3.Comments should not substantially derail the conversation. as long as it is relevant, that it is not low-effort, and that you do not spam. You can, for example, link to a specific blog post on your website, link to a video on your YouTube channel, etc. No posts/comments that are just plain ads.Do not harass or insult others, and avoid poisoning the mood.You can of course post here and link to your question. It is also recommend to post your question on, since that is meant to be the central place for questions about ROS. Following those guidelines really helps in getting your question answered. If you're looking for help, please read the support guidelines before asking your question. /en/galactic for ROS 2 documentation and tutorials.for ROS tutorials and to search for packages.for news and general discussion about ROS.to ask questions (or search previous ones) and get help.
Please mention which one you're talking about when asking for help or starting a discussion. Note that ROS (aka ROS 1) and ROS 2 are different.
