git clone https://github.com/open-rmf/fleet_adapter_clearpath.git
cd ~/rmf_ws
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro foxy -yr
source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
source /opt/clearpath/ros2-api-1.3.3-0/setup.bash # or wherever the clearpath api is located
colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --packages-up-to fleet_adapter_clearpath

To run only the fleet adapter
