Instructions in readme for distribution install

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I noticed that the instructions in the readme specify

cat pepper_os_ros-kinetic-x86_*.tar.gz.part-* > pepper_os_ros-kinetic-x86.tar.gz

However, the most recent releases seem to use lzma for the compression. After changing the relevant names and commands, things worked correctly, but just wanted to let you know!

Hey @AndrewJSchoen I just updated the README. I also unified it for both branches and added a couple of extra comments. Thanks for the feedback! I hope it is working well for you.

Let me know if you are finding issues, and I'm curious also to know what's your workflow with it.

Will do. So far, no issues, other than that. We are a lab that works with ROS, across a number of different robotic platforms, and will be interested in exploring the navigation capabilities of the robot.

I know that Aldebaran provides some ROS packages for some work, but I actually found them a bit onerous, and actually not as performant for some things. So we actually have started development on some more focused implementations, which we may be making public once it is a bit more concrete and formalized. Let me know if that would be interesting for you.
