Full workspace setup instructions missing

Opened this issue · 2 comments

When running catkin_make in the root path for the repository (as suggested in current README.md instructions) fails as follow:

cappelletto@algol:~/projects/uw-slam$ catkin_make
Base path: /home/cappelletto/projects/uw-slam
The specified base path "/home/cappelletto/projects/uw-slam" contains a package but "catkin_make" must be invoked in the root of workspace

Basically, you need to save the repository in the ROS catkin workspace directory. Normally, would be in /home/"user"/catkin_ws/src/. I will further explain these steps in README.md in addition to configuration steps for SLAM.

Updated README.md with correct commands to properly install and configure UW-SLAM.
