Choose one of the following packages depending on your ROS version.

  • For diamondback users
    • harkfd (for HARK main software)

  • For electric users
    • harkfd (for HARK main software)
    • hark-ros-electric (optional modules for the HARK-ROS seamless communication)

 

  • For fuerte users
    • harkfd (for HARK main software)
    • hark-ros-fuerte (optional modules for the HARK-ROS seamless communication)

 

  • For groovy users
    • harkfd (for HARK main software)
    • hark-ros-groovy (optional modules for the HARK-ROS seamless communication)

 

  • For hydro users
    • harkfd (for HARK main software)
    • hark-ros-hydro (optional modules for the HARK-ROS seamless communication)

 

See next subsection for the installation detail.

 Installation from pre-compiled binaries (Obsoleted for Ubuntu later than Ubuntu 10.04. For others, go to source compilation)

Compilation Environment

  • OS
    • Ubuntu 10.04 lucid (both 32bit and 64bit)

 

  • ROS
    • ROS diamondback
    • ROS electric
    • ROS fuerte

 

For other environments, please go for the source compilation.

Installation

Setup your sources.list file to accept Debian packages from the HARK server.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos lucid non-free\ndeb-src http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos lucid non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hark.list'

 

Set up your keys.

 

wget http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos/public.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -

 

HARK server re-indexing

sudo apt-get update

 

HARK stack (harkfd, hark-ros) installation (Choose one of the following command lines depending on your ROS version)

  • For diamondback users
sudo apt-get install harkfd hark-ros-diamondback hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-diamondback

 

  • For electric users
sudo apt-get install harkfd hark-ros-electric hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-electric

 

  • For fuerte users
sudo apt-get install harkfd hark-ros-fuerte hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-fuerte

 

Nomally, a hark-ros package automatically installs a hark-ros-stacks package.

 Installation from source compilation

Supported Environment

 

  • OS
    • 32bit/64bit Ubuntu 10.04 or later

 

  • ROS
    • ROS boxturtle (Obsoleted in ROS website, but supported)
    • ROS cturtle
    • ROS diamondback
    • ROS electric
    • ROS fuerte
    • ROS groovy
    • ROS hydro

 

Step1 : ROS Installation

Fistly, install ROS fundamental packages before you proceed.

  • For cturtle users
    • ros-cturtle-ros
    • ros-cturtle-driver-common (for dynamic reconfigure)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step2 : HARK-related ROS Stack Installation

Setup your local ROS package directory (“~/ros” in the following description).

mkdir ~/ros
sh -c 'echo "export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}:${HOME}/ros" >> ~/.bashrc'
. ~/.bashrc

 

Make a directory for installing hark-ros-stacks

mkdir ~/ros/hark_ros_stacks

 

Move to the default directory

cd ~/ros/hark_ros_stacks

 

Download the latest hark-ros-stacks-*.*.*.tar.gz from here and unzip it.

tar zxvf hark-ros-stacks-*.*.*.tar.gz

The “*.*.*” describes the package version.

Compile all packages.

cd ~/ros/hark_ros_stacks/hark-ros-stacks-*.*.*
./make-all-packages.sh

You can develop your own HARK-related ROS nodes in “~/ros/hark_ros_stacks/”.

If you use groovy or hydro, you may need the following before making them.

rosdep update

 

Move to the default directory

cd ~/ros/hark_ros_stacks

 

Download the latest hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-*.*.*.tar.gz from here and unzip it.

tar zxvf hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-*.*.*.tar.gz

The “*.*.*” describes the package version.

Compile all packages.

cd ~/ros/hark_ros_stacks/hark-ros-turtlebot-stack-*.*.*
rosmake hark_turtlebot_follower

 

Step3 : HARK Basic Package Installation

Here, the source compilation of only hark-ros package is explained.
We assume that the HARK basic packages (such as harkfd, flowdesigner-0.9.1-hark) are installed by pre-compiled bineries.

sudo apt-get install harkfd

 

hark-ros package is installed by source compilation in the next subsection.

 

Step4 : hark-ros Package Installation

To install hark-ros, we need source codes of both hark-ros and harkfd.

Firstly, move to your preferred directory to download source codes.

mkdir ${HOME}/YOUR_HARK_DOWNLOAD_DIR
cd ${HOME}/YOUR_HARK_DOWNLOAD_DIR

 

Download the latest hark-ros-*.*.*.tar.gz from here and unzip them.

tar zxvf hark-ros-*.*.*.tar.gz

 

Compile and install the source codes.

cd hark-ros-*.*.*
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-hark-inc=/usr/include/hark --enable-ros; make clean; make ; sudo make install;

 

The “*.*.*” describes the package version.

Here, we need header files of harkfd with –with-hark-inc option.

If you haven’t set FLOWDESIGNER_PATH in ~/.bashrc, use the following command to activate this package.

echo "export FLOWDESIGNER_PATH=$FLOWDESIGNER_PATH:/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc
