Building from Source

To build from source you'll need to create a new workspace, clone and checkout the latest release branch of this repository, install all the dependencies, and compile. If you need the latest development features you can clone from the master branch instead of the latest release branch. While we guarantee the release branches are stable, the master should be considered to have an unstable build due to ongoing development.

Create a ROS workspace and a source directory
```
  mkdir -p ~/ros-workspace/src
```

Clone the package into the source directory .

  cd ~/ros-workspace/src
  git clone https://github.com/aws-robotics/kinesisvideo-common.git -b release-latest

Install dependencies

  cd ~/ros-workspace 
  sudo apt-get update && rosdep update
  rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

Note: If building the master branch instead of a release branch you may need to also checkout and build the master branches of the packages this package depends on.

Build the packages
```
  cd ~/ros-workspace && colcon build
```
