What if root access not an option? #2

Closed Pouya-moh closed 8 years ago

Pouya-moh commented 8 years ago

Hello. I would like to install this but I have a big problem. Installing dependencies needs root access which is not granted in our laboratories. Would it possible for you guys to add an entry in the wiki and list all dependencies so we can build from source?

Thanks, Pouya.

Hello Pouya, I will work on this as soon as possible.

Best, Luca

Hello Pouya, I add in the wiki the list of all robotology superbuild dependencies (for all the repos inside the superbuild). You can find it here : https://github.com/robotology-playground/robotology-superbuild/wiki/robotology-superbuild-handbook#dependencies-list

Neverthless install all the dependencies from sources will be a tough work: I would ask your administrator to run the get_dependencies.sh script in your machine.

Best, Luca

Hello Luca.

Thank you very much for detailed list. I checked and it seems we have almost all of them already installed. There are two packages among the missing ones that I have a question about:

  1. "icub-common". We are gonna use CoMan only. Do we still need this?
  2. "drcsim" It seems this one is relate to darpa challenge, hence, WalkMan. Similar question to above: if we want to use CoMan only, do we need this?

Thank again for the support and cheers, Pouya.

Hi Pouya,

you will need icub-commn because it has inside some useful libs. You can skip drcsim.

I am available if you have other questions. Best, Luca
