Follow this to install ROS 2 Dashing

Install additional build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-vcstool python3-colcon-common-extensions

Warning:--symlink-install flag is not compatible for now: #112, #104

Download and build MoveIt2:

mkdir -p ~/moveit2_ws/src
cd ~/moveit2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/AcutronicRobotics/moveit2 -b master
cd ..
vcs import src < src/moveit2/moveit2.repos
export ROS_DISTRO=dashing
source /opt/ros/dashing/setup.bash
rosdep update && rosdep install -q -y --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro ${ROS_DISTRO}
colcon build --merge-install

# Host machine
docker run -it ros:dashing
# Inside of the docker image
mkdir -p ~/moveit2_ws/src
cd ~/moveit2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/AcutronicRobotics/moveit2 -b master
cd ..
vcs import src < src/moveit2/moveit2.repos
apt update
rosdep update && rosdep install -q -y --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro ${ROS_DISTRO} --as-root=apt:false || true
colcon build --merge-install

Moveit uses a Docker-based CI infrastructure to run tests and validate commits. Such infrastructure adapted for MoveIt 2 is available at https://github.com/acutronicrobotics/moveit_ci.git.

Using the CI infrastructure, one can get access to MoveIt 2 current status and test its capabilities

Note: You need to have docker installed on your system.

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/AcutronicRobotics/moveit2
cd ~/moveit2
git clone -q -b dashing --depth=1 https://github.com/acutronicrobotics/moveit2_ci.git .moveit2_ci
source .travis.linux.env
.moveit2_ci/travis.sh
