Issues with installation #47

Closed trueivorian closed 4 years ago

trueivorian commented 4 years ago

I'm having trouble building the rt_gene project. I have followed the software installation steps (including installing ros melodic and all the necessary packages) and received the following error messages:

Installation attempt on an Ubuntu 18.04 Virtual Machine:

Installation attempt on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu 18.04):

Hi there, for the Ubuntu VM, try sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg. Not sure what happens in the WSL; it seems that ROS is not installed successfully.

All that being said, I do not recommend running RT-GENE in a virtual machine / subsystem, as the access to GPU will probably not work, which will make it very slow.

Also, do you need the ROS version? There is a standalone version now which might be better suited.

Best, Tobias

Hi, I have new output following a fresh install using sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg. Now one of the packages have been built successfully, however there is apparently a non-existing file rt_gene/scripts/estimate.blink.py. Any suggestions for fixes?

Regards, Osanne Gbayere

Hi, Sorry, that was a bug introduced when working on the blink estimation pull request (#43). I fixed it in https://github.com/Tobias-Fischer/rt_gene/commit/bd068bfdb3e62a055dd0ebbb7632d5b096b46093.

Best, Tobias
