## Installation

1. [Install ROS2 and ros-dev-tools](https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Installation.html) (tested on Humble with Ubuntu 22.04)
2. [Create a ROS2 workspace and source the overlay](https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutorials/Beginner-Client-Libraries/Creating-A-Workspace/Creating-A-Workspace.html)

```sh
source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash # change humble to your ROS2 distro
mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/reazon-research/openarm_ros2.git
```

3. [Install dependencies with rosdep](https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutorials/Intermediate/Rosdep.html) and [build the packages with colcon](https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutorials/Beginner-Client-Libraries/Colcon-Tutorial.html)

```sh
cd ~/ros2_ws
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src -y --ignore-src -r

sudo apt install -y python3-colcon-common-extensions
colcon build
```

4. *In a new terminal*, source the workspace setup script

```sh
cd ~/ros2_ws
source install/setup.bash
```

5. Test the installation by launching a demo. It may be necessary to restart your computer once.

```sh
ros2 launch openarm_bimanual_moveit_config demo.launch.py
```
