Go back to the VisLab machines configuration page.
Operating system installation
Operations after first boot
- choose Main server (rather than Portugal server, which is not always reliable) as the software repository:
- on desktop machines, System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from: Main server
- on server machines, remove all the "pt." strings from
/etc/apt/sources.list
with the following command:sudo sed -i 's/pt.//g' sources.list
Other operations
Environment variables
- Create a file called ~/.bash_env (used by both interactive and non-interactive sessions, such as commands launched via
yarprun
from another machine) like this one:
export YARP_ROOT=/home/icub/yarp2 export YARP_DIR=$YARP_ROOT/build export ICUB_ROOT=/home/icub/iCub export ICUB_DIR=$ICUB_ROOT/main/build export PATH=$PATH:$YARP_DIR/bin:$ICUB_DIR/bin export ICUB_ROBOTNAME=iCubLisboa01 # only for machines that connect to the real robot export IPOPT_DIR=/home/icub/Ipopt-3.10.0 # only for servers (IK solver) source $YARP_ROOT/scripts/yarp_completion
If you need software from icub-contrib (most likely you don't, as most of that repository has been migrated to GitHub), some lines need to be added or changed:
export ICUBcontrib_DIR=$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:$ICUBcontrib_DIR/share/ICUBcontrib
- Then, before the following line of /etc/bash.bashrc
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
add this:
# per-user environment variables (non-interactive and interactive mode) source $HOME/.bash_env
Subversion (older versions)
For security, uncomment (thus enabling) the following parameter in /etc/subversion/config
:
store-passwords = no
This implies that SVN will ask you for your password every time you do a commit, as opposed to storing it in plain text on the system. (Don't worry about changing your personal ~/.subversion/config
file: the parameter is not actually set there, so the global /etc
setting is used.)
Additional software
OpenCV
Manual compilation
This is needed for some iCub vision modules (e.g. motionCUT, stereo-vision). Instructions:
- download TBB Source, make
- download OpenCV 2.4.3 or higher, CMake, set WITH_TBB=ON and insert the paths obtained with the TBB compilation, such as
TBB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/src/robot/tbb41_20130314oss/include TBB_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/src/robot/tbb41_20130314oss/build/linux_intel64_gcc_cc4.6_libc2.15_kernel3.2.0_release
- compile OpenCV
- set OpenCV_DIR to the path of OpenCV-x.y.z/build, for example:
export OpenCV_DIR=$code/OpenCV-2.4.3/build
If the above fails, try BUILD_TBB=ON (i.e. automatically "Download and build TBB from source"). More information about TBB support in the latest OpenCV here.
