Add instructions for ROS install via conda-forge #85

Open jf--- opened 5 years ago

jf--- commented 5 years ago

not every day you hear of advances that get you in full tribal dance mode, but I'd say this is a candidate ROS on conda-forge

EDIT: Add instructions to the documentation detailing how to install ROS via conda-forge (including the packages we add when shipping via docker containers).

OMG, awesome!

No windows yet~

Interestingly enough the author mentions working together with Sean Yen, of MS, working on ROS

"This makes me confident that with his deep knowledge of Windows & ROS, we’ll be able to support Windows for the ROS melodic core packages on conda soon"

Not bad eh ;)

I can confirm this actually works, at least with ROS Noetic installing via conda on Windows 10! 🎉

xarthurx commented 3 years ago

@gonzalocasas You mean using ROS without WSL?

gonzalocasas commented 3 years ago

@xarthurx yes! the whole pipeline works now, ros/moveit/rviz, everything running natively on Windows: image

(notice RViz in particular, that runs natively on Windows, not as an X11 forwarded display via Xming)

@gonzalocasas any thoughts on what bar the conda ROS install would need to meet, to be considered a viable alternative to docker?

gonzalocasas commented 3 years ago

@jf--- actually, it is already very viable. Internally, some projects have been running with that for a couple of months now, we will add docs for it to the main documentation in the short term! ;)

gonzalocasas commented 3 years ago

I realize that I already said that before, but now we've tested it and are sure it works, I was aiming at adding it to the docs these sprint, but perhaps it slips to the next one in a week or two.

Hiya - just came across this issue by chance. @wolfv, @traversaro and I would be more than happy to help out if you encounter any issues in running RoboStack, but it seems like things are running smoothly already which is great :)
