Autoware Launch GUI is a Tauri / NextJS application designed to simplify the process of Launching Autoware Processes. Instead of relying on command prompts, users can now utilize a user-friendly graphical interface.
Autoware Launch GUI offers a range of features to enhance your experience with Autoware:
To run the .deb file directly you will need to first check if these dependencies are installed.
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0 libsoup-3.0-0 libsoup-3.0-common
To develop the Autoware Launch GUI, you'll need to have both Rust and Node.js installed on your system.
To install Rust, run the following command:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs/ | sh
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once installed, you can verify your Rust installation with:
rustc --version
rustc 1.72.0 (5680fa18f 2023-08-23) is the one i'm currently on while developping this.
You can download and install Node.js (LTS Version) from the official website.
Alternatively, if you're using a package manager like apt
for Ubuntu/Debian, you can install Node.js with:
For Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
Verify your Node.js installation with:
node --version
v16.20.0 is the one i'm currently on while developping this.
It's also recommended to install pnpm
as it's not included:
npm install -g pnpm
Once Rust and Node.js are set up, you can proceed with the Installation steps mentioned above.
For most users, the easiest way to get started is by downloading and installing the provided .deb
file.
