Effective August 2009, YARP and iCub software repositories have been moved to SourceForge.net servers and must be downloaded with Subversion (SVN).
This article deals with the installation of YARP and iCub software. Word of advice: '''always refer to the official iCub documentation first''':
* http://www.yarp.it
* http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Manual#Six._Software.2C_Installing_YARP_and_iCub
* http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/ICub_Software_Installation
* Virtual Machine that contains pre-installed software: https://github.com/robotology/vagrant-icub


== Preliminary software ==
Below, we list some unofficial additional notes provided by [[Vislab|VisLab]] members.


You should install an SVN client on your system if you do not have one already. For Windows, [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN] is recommended. If you run Linux or other UNIX flavours, chances are high that you can just go ahead using <code>svn</code> in command line (if that is not the case, install it with <code>sudo apt-get install subversion</code> or equivalent).
''See [[iCub software/Archive]] for obsolete information.''


Furthermore, you should install [http://www.cmake.org/ CMake]. In Linux, <code>sudo apt-get install make cmake cmake-curses-gui</code>.
== Dependencies ==


== Preliminary environment variables ==
In Linux, refer to [[iCub machines configuration#Dependencies]].


The following environment variables must be set. Since summer 2010, it is recommended that they really point to different directories on your system:
== Environment variables ==
* <code>YARP_ROOT</code>: location of the yarp2 source code
* <code>YARP_DIR</code>: yarp2 build directory
* <code>ICUB_ROOT</code>: location of the iCub source code
* <code>ICUB_DIR</code>: iCub build directory


=== Windows environment variables ===
The following environment variables must be set.


Typical choices are:
* <code>YARP_ROOT</code>: location of the yarp source code
* <code>YARP_ROOT</code> = C:/yarp2
* <code>YARP_DIR</code>: yarp build directory, usually <code>YARP_ROOT/build</code>
* <code>YARP_DIR</code> = C:/yarp2/build
* <code>ICUB_ROOT</code>: location of the icub-main source code
* <code>ICUB_ROOT</code> = C:/icub
* <code>ICUB_DIR</code>: icub-main build directory, usually <code>ICUB_ROOT/build</code>
* <code>ICUB_DIR</code> = C:/icub/main/build


=== Linux environment variables ===
In Linux, refer to [[iCub machines configuration#Environment variables]].
 
Typical choices are:
  export YARP_ROOT=~/yarp2
  export YARP_DIR=$YARP_ROOT/build
  export ICUB_ROOT=~/iCub
  export ICUB_DIR=$ICUB_DIR/main/build

# Download ACE and GLS from http://eris.liralab.it/iCub/downloads/packages/windows/msvc8/ ; unzip them to a directory of your choice and remember it.
Run the following command in a console terminal, typically from the <code>$code</code> directory:
# If you want GUIs, download GTKMM from http://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows and use the installer.
git clone https://github.com/robotology/yarp.git
# Create the environment variables <code>ACE_ROOT</code>, <code>GTK_BASEPATH</code>, <code>GTKMM_BASEPATH</code>, <code>GSL_DIR</code>.
# Add this to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable: <code>%ACE_ROOT%/lib</code> (important: make sure you put it at the beginning of the <code>PATH</code> environment variable, to avoid conflicts with other existing ACE versions on the system)
# <code>ACE_ROOT</code> is ACE dir (e.g., C:/ace_wrappers).
# <code>GTK_BASEPATH</code> and <code>GTKMM_BASEPATH</code> is GTKMM dir (C:/gtkmm).
# <code>GSL_DIR</code> is GSL dir (C:/gsl-1.8).
# Make sure that <code>YARP_ROOT</code> and <code>YARP_DIR</code> are correctly set.

=== Compiling the yarp repository in Linux ===


Paste the following command in a console terminal:
mkdir $YARP_DIR
  svn co https://yarp0.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yarp0/trunk/yarp2
cd $YARP_DIR
This will create a new directory called '''yarp2''' that contains the software. Your environment variables <code>YARP_DIR</code> and <code>YARP_ROOT</code> should be set to that directory (e.g., <code>/home/yourname/yarp2</code>).
ccmake $YARP_ROOT


=== Compiling the yarp2 repository in Linux ===
In the CMake interface, set the following
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
CREATE_LIB_MATH ON
then hit c and g in order to '''generate the project files''', to obtain the Makefile.


To compile the yarp2 repository, go to <code>YARP_DIR</code> and '''generate the project files''' with the CMake program with the command
Having generated your project file, only the actual compilation remains to be done:
  ccmake $YARP_ROOT
make
and you obtain a Makefile.


Having generated your project file, only the actual compilation remains to be done. In Linux type <code>make</code>.
Don't use <strike><code>sudo make install</code></strike>! Rather, add the location of the binaries to the <code>$PATH</code> environment variable (see below).

# Create the environment variables <code>ICUB_ROOT</code> and <code>ICUB_DIR</code>.
Set up icub-contrib-common (see below), then get the contrib application that you wish to install (for example POETICON++), CMake and build it.
# <code>ICUB_ROOT</code> is iCub dir (e.g., C:/icub).
# <code>ICUB_DIR</code> is iCub build dir (C:/icub/main/build).

git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-firmware-shared
  svn co https://robotcub.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/robotcub/trunk/iCub
git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-firmware-build
This will create a new directory called '''iCub''' that contains the software. Your environment variables <code>ICUB_DIR</code> and <code>ICUB_ROOT</code> should be set to that directory (e.g., <code>/home/yourname/iCub</code>).

Follow the official instructions at the bottom of http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Linux:Installation_from_sources but '''make sure to point CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the full path corresponding to $ICUBcontrib_DIR''', which is accessible without administrator privileges and whose binaries will be within $PATH. To accomplish this, follow these simple instructions, paying attention to the part in bold.
  svn update


=== Downloading iCub snapshot files ===
Verify that your <code>.bashrc_iCub</code> file (or equivalent) contains these environment variables:
export ICUBcontrib_DIR=$code/icub-contrib-common/build
export PATH=$PATH:$YARP_DIR/bin:$ICUB_DIR/bin:$ICUBcontrib_DIR/bin
export YARP_DATA_DIRS=$YARP_DIR/share/yarp:$ICUB_DIR/share/iCub:$ICUBcontrib_DIR/share/ICUBcontrib


Periodic snapshots of the iCub repository are available at http://eris.liralab.it/iCub/downloads/src/
Set up the ICUBcontrib metapackage:
mkdir $ICUBcontrib_DIR
cd $ICUBcontrib_DIR
'''# the following command sets CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the path corresponding to $ICUBcontrib_DIR'''
'''# instead of /usr/local'''
'''cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(echo $ICUBcontrib_DIR) ..'''
ccmake ..
configure, generate, exit
make
make install


Note that there are two types of files:
Don't use <strike><code>sudo make install</code></strike>! Rather, add the location of the binaries to the <code>$PATH</code> environment variable (see above).
* iCub-src-x.y.z.tar.gz: the whole iCub repository, version x.y.z
* iCub-dep-x.y.z.txt: a list of the libraries, software packages and environment variables that are required to compile the code in snapshot x.y.z, including YARP version number.


== iCub Simulator ==
At this point, you can install iCub Contrib applications with <code>make install</code> in their own build subdirectory (again, don't use sudo!). Binaries will be installed in $ICUBcontrib_DIR/bin. For example, to compile the POETICON++ build do the following:


=== Installing iCub_SIM in Windows ===
cd $code/poeticon
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
configure, generate, exit
make
make install


To install iCub Simulator (optional):
=== Updating the iCub repository in Linux ===
# Download the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) from http://www.libsdl.org/ (Development Libraries), unzip it somewhere and note down the directory
# Download ODE from http://eris.liralab.it/iCub/downloads/packages/windows/msvc8/, unzip it somewhere as well
# Create environment variables SDLDIR, ODE_DIR:
## ODE_DIR is ODE dir (e.g., C:/ode-0.11.1).
## SDLDIR is SDL dir (C:/SDL-1.2.14).
# Add %SDLDIR%/lib to the PATH variable.
# Re-Run CMAKE with the ODE, OPENCV and SDL variables checked.
# Compile project iCub_SIM


== Committing changes to the repositories ==
cd $ICUB_ROOT
git pull
 
== iCub Simulator ==


If you are a developer and you need to add/modify files within the repository, you need two things:
This component is optional. Refer to the official iCub manual, section 9 (Software), available at http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Manual#Nine._Software.2C_iCub
* a SourceForge.net account; once you have that, send an email to the [http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=139262 RobotCub project administrators] to join the project
* make sure that your SVN client is configured correctly with regard to '''auto-props''', which is a mechanism that takes care of line endings and MIME filetypes according to wildcards (for example, setting some flags for *.txt files and other flags for *.sh). Go [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion/auto-props here] for a better explanation, and check the 'Subversion client flags' page (linked below) for auto-props adopted by RobotCub developers.

This article deals with the installation of YARP and iCub software. Word of advice: always refer to the official iCub documentation first:

Below, we list some unofficial additional notes provided by VisLab members.

See iCub software/Archive for obsolete information.

Dependencies

In Linux, refer to iCub machines configuration#Dependencies.

Environment variables

The following environment variables must be set.

  • YARP_ROOT: location of the yarp source code
  • YARP_DIR: yarp build directory, usually YARP_ROOT/build
  • ICUB_ROOT: location of the icub-main source code
  • ICUB_DIR: icub-main build directory, usually ICUB_ROOT/build

In Linux, refer to iCub machines configuration#Environment variables.

YARP

Browsing the yarp repository online

https://github.com/robotology/yarp

Getting the yarp repository in Windows

Inside TortoiseGit, use the file manager to browse to the location where you would like to download the code; right click on an empty region of the window and select "checkout" from the contextual menu; type the above address in the "URL of repository" field. No password or username will be required.

Note: if you use Cygwin, refer to Linux instructions instead.

Installing yarp in Windows

Note: all environment variables should have '/' and NOT '\' (except in the PATH enviroment variable).

Getting the yarp repository in Linux

Run the following command in a console terminal, typically from the $code directory: 

git clone https://github.com/robotology/yarp.git

Compiling the yarp repository in Linux

mkdir $YARP_DIR
cd $YARP_DIR
ccmake $YARP_ROOT

In the CMake interface, set the following 

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
CREATE_LIB_MATH ON

then hit c and g in order to generate the project files, to obtain the Makefile.

Having generated your project file, only the actual compilation remains to be done: 

make

Don't use sudo make install! Rather, add the location of the binaries to the $PATH environment variable (see below).

Updating the yarp repository in Linux

cd $YARP_ROOT
git pull

Downloading YARP as a single file

Refer to http://www.yarp.it. Pre-compiled binaries are also available.

iCub

Browsing the iCub repository online

icub-main

https://github.com/robotology/icub-main/

iCub Contrib Software

These are small repositories in the Robotology organization page, which contain special components and demos, for example the ball tracking and grasping demo is here: https://github.com/robotology/icub-basic-demos/

Getting the iCub repository in Windows

Inside TortoiseGit, use the file manager to browse to the location where you would like to download the code; right click on an empty region of the window and select "checkout" from the contextual menu; type the repository address in the "URL of repository" entry.

Note: if you use Cygwin, refer to Linux instructions instead.

Getting the iCub repository in Linux

icub-main

Run the following command in a console terminal, typically from the $code directory: 

git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-main.git

contrib software

Set up icub-contrib-common (see below), then get the contrib application that you wish to install (for example POETICON++), CMake and build it.

firmware (only for pc104) 

git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-firmware-shared
git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-firmware-build

Compiling the iCub repository in Linux

icub-main 

mkdir $ICUB_DIR
cd $ICUB_DIR
ccmake $ICUB_ROOT

In the CMake interface, set the following 

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
ENABLE_icubmod_cartesiancontrollerclient ON
ENABLE_icubmod_cartesiancontrollerserver ON
ENABLE_icubmod_gazecontrollerclient ON

then hit c and g in order to generate the project files, to obtain the Makefile.

Having generated your project file, the actual compilation remains to be done: 

make

Provided that YARP_ROBOT_NAME=iCubLisboa01 is set, robot-specific files will be automatically copied by CMake.

Don't use sudo make install! Rather, add the location of the binaries to the $PATH environment variable (see below).

icub-contrib-common metapackage (to use contrib modules, i.e., modules outside icub-main)

Follow the official instructions at the bottom of http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Linux:Installation_from_sources but make sure to point CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the full path corresponding to $ICUBcontrib_DIR, which is accessible without administrator privileges and whose binaries will be within $PATH. To accomplish this, follow these simple instructions, paying attention to the part in bold.

Verify that your .bashrc_iCub file (or equivalent) contains these environment variables: 

export ICUBcontrib_DIR=$code/icub-contrib-common/build
export PATH=$PATH:$YARP_DIR/bin:$ICUB_DIR/bin:$ICUBcontrib_DIR/bin
export YARP_DATA_DIRS=$YARP_DIR/share/yarp:$ICUB_DIR/share/iCub:$ICUBcontrib_DIR/share/ICUBcontrib

Set up the ICUBcontrib metapackage: 

mkdir $ICUBcontrib_DIR
cd $ICUBcontrib_DIR
# the following command sets CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the path corresponding to $ICUBcontrib_DIR
# instead of /usr/local
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(echo $ICUBcontrib_DIR) ..
ccmake ..
configure, generate, exit
make
make install

Don't use sudo make install! Rather, add the location of the binaries to the $PATH environment variable (see above).

At this point, you can install iCub Contrib applications with make install in their own build subdirectory (again, don't use sudo!). Binaries will be installed in $ICUBcontrib_DIR/bin. For example, to compile the POETICON++ build do the following: 

cd $code/poeticon
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
configure, generate, exit
make
make install

Updating the iCub repository in Linux

cd $ICUB_ROOT
git pull

iCub Simulator

This component is optional. Refer to the official iCub manual, section 9 (Software), available at http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Manual#Nine._Software.2C_iCub
