Installation

1. Clone the repository :

   git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>
   cd <repository-folder>

2. Create a Python virtual environment :

   python3 -m venv .env

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Linux/macOS:

     source .env/bin/activate

4. Install the Python dependencies:

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

   Note: The -r flag is important to read from the requirements.txt file.

Building the Project

make build all/symlink

Tip: Check the top of the Makefile to see the available targets and their exact usage.

Running the Project

After building, you can enter the project shell (a specialized environment for running the ROS nodes and Python scripts) by running:

make shell

Once inside the shell, you can launch the main script:

launch perception.py
