Clarifications for Local Install instructions #33

Closed jpcoffelt closed 2 years ago

jpcoffelt commented 2 years ago

In the "Install ardusub" step here, is "recursive" or "recurse-submodule" meant instead of "recurse" in: git clone https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot.git -b Sub-4.1 --recurse

Following the instructions here, do we stop at the . ~/.profile step or do we continue with the waf build described here?

Also, when trying to run locally, this step: sim_vehicle.py -L RATBeach -v ArduSub --model=JSON --out=udp:0.0.0.0:14550 --console gives the error: No such file or directory: 'mavproxy.py' as shown below: mavproxy

--recurse, --recurse-submodules, and --recursive are aliases and have the same behavior. But I will change it to --recurse-submodules to avoid confusion

No such file or directory: 'mavproxy.py'

Did you use this script to install everything? Tools/environment_install/install-prereqs-ubuntu.sh -y

Can you check it the contents of the profile file to see if autopilot is there? With this command cat ~/.profile in the end of the file it should have something like this:

export PATH=/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home/gus/Documents/git/ardupilot/Tools/autotest:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update/bin:$PATH

Can you check if running only mavproxy.py --version works?

Stopping at . ~/.profile should be enough

Thanks for the clarification on --recurse. That's what I assumed, but I couldn't find it in online documentation or CL help.

It turns out the install script you mentioned was aborting without any notification. There were several issues on my side. First other repo signtares and keys were causing apt update to terminate with errors. Other issue was OS python, Blender python, and Anaconda were conflicting and causing pip3 to fail. Changing to pip in the installation script fixed that.

There may be other issues, but the installation script did finally run successfully to completion.

That fixed that issue!
