GUI for installing ros on ubuntu

Primary LanguagePythonGNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0

Developed by Jacob Beckerman at the University of Pennsylvania.

This tool is made to help you install ROS (Robot operating System)on Ubuntu. Download the repo as a zip and uncompress then run main.py. The only non-standard dependancy is the wxpython module for graphics, which may be installed already on your computer.

If you run into trouble with the GUI, press CTRL + ALT + T to open a terminal window then enter:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8on

enter your password and run main.py again after the module finishes successfully.

The functionality of this tool is pretty straightforward. Check the boxes as you wish, depending on what parameters you want your ROS installation to have. If you attempt to install a ROS distro that you shouldn't, the GUI will change the message on the status bar to notify you.

This tool is free and open-source. It was developed by Jacob Beckerman at the University of Pennsylvania as a final project for CIS 191. I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your computer as a result of using this tool.
