how to use prpy? #368

Closed tcjcxy30 closed 7 years ago

tcjcxy30 commented 7 years ago

how to use the package? I need to clone this package into my catkin_ws and use catkin_make then source it? I can't import prpy and there is no explain in the Readme.

Yes, you are generally correct. You need to checkout prpy in a Catkin workspace, use rosdep to install its dependencies (primarily: OpenRAVE 0.9 or above), and run catkin_make (or catkin build if you are using catkin_tools).

There are detailed instructions for setting up your workspace on this webpage. If you want an example to get started, I suggest working through these instructions that describe how to get HERB up and running in simulation.

I hope that helps. We do need to update the README to include this information, too.
