Issues with Cow and Lady demo

After a fresh install I have been unable to obtain a visualization of the cow and lady demo. The updates do not go beyond the preprocessing steps.

I started the install by creating a clone of the voxfield git through https instead of the ssh. Which showed some missing git folders in the voxfield_https.rosinstall , namely:

- git:
		local-name: numpy_eigen
		uri: https://github.com/ethz-asl/numpy_eigen.git
- git:
		local-name: catkin_boost_python_buildtool
		uri: https://github.com/ethz-asl/catkin_boost_python_buildtool.git
- git:
		local-name: catkin_grpc
		uri: https://github.com/CogRob/catkin_grpc.git

After adding this and completing the build initially it seemed that the demo's using lidar work, e.g. the basement launch files. However, the cow and lady demo does not seem to work on any of the launch files of the provided methods. The SM timing which is printed in the terminal would imply that at no point in time is the ESDF updated, which makes me wonder if the TSDF is updating as expected.

Would you have any idea what might be going wrong here?
Thank you in advance!

Unlike the LIDAR datasets Cow and Lady requires a rosservice call to publish mesh etc. I overlooked this
