Cloning & using AWS Robomaker on my local machine --> Here's my report (as of 25.1.2019):

sudo docker-compose up -d
I do not believe that this was an issue when I went to the http://localhost:2080 terminal. I will continue working on this tomorrow.
I have also got both Gazebo 9 & 10 installed (I believe), this does not matter according to Rishabh (at the moment) I believe.
Today, I've booted up my local machine. Each time I start it up, I have to enter every command from cd aws-robomaker-docker that was mentioned in the link above. It is good to note that when I am using the regular linux terminal (not the terminal on novnc2) I often have to enter
sudo "command"
at the beginning of each line.
Right now, I'm running this command:
roslaunch cloudwatch_simulation bookstore_turtlebot_navigation.launch
and will then continue with the rest of the tutorial. Will keep you posted.
Since I published that last comment on this issue, I've entered that command (roslaunch cloudwatch_simulation bookstore_turtlebot_navigation.launch
) and then I entered this command: rviz
. Now I have a graphical window showing the ROS.
I'm having a bit of trouble with this part of the tutorial:
You’ll be greeted with a UI. From here you need to add the Map from the topic
Can someone please help @wakeuplearn
Also, right now

(see above comment). Because of this, I'm wondering if there is a way so that I can save my state on the linux partition? I'm not sure if this is going to impact my ability to save our progress. Do you have to re-enter the same commands every time, or is this not going to be a big deal? About to take the dog for a walk.
After going through this command # Make sure you're in the workspace above `simulation_ws` cd ../
again, I now realise that the purpose of this is to drop back a level in the terminal on localhost:6080 (before, we were in the root/catkin_ws/src/simulation_ws, now we're in root/catkin_ws/src
Got the "map from topic" working - thanks @EXYNOS-999
Runing colcon bundle now:
cd /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/src/simulation_ws
source install/local_setup.sh
colcon bundle
This step takes a very long time (30+ minutes in some cases) as the bundler needs to pull down literally everything needed to run your robot from scratch.
I'm going to take a temporary break from this issue as @EXYNOS-999 reckons it is not as important as #3 right now and we may not need a computer with a gpu. This issue will remain open, however, as I may come back to it!
