Augment CMake script to install node_manager launcher on Ubuntu. #82

Closed acschaefer closed 6 years ago

acschaefer commented 6 years ago

The changes made to the CMake script automatically install and register a program launcher when installing multimaster via catkin_make install on Ubuntu.

There are several advantages that come with installing a launcher:

  1. It is very easy to start the application.
  2. You do not have an idling terminal floating around, which is the case if starting via command line.
  3. You do not need to manually source setup.sh. The launcher takes care of that.
