Installation Instructions - Ubuntu 20.04 with ROS Noetic

1. Install and initialize ROS kinetic desktop full, additional ROS packages, catkin-tools, and wstool:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu `lsb_release -sc` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
$ wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-desktop-full ros-noetic-joy ros-noetic-octomap-ros ros-noetic-mavlink python3-wstool python3-catkin-tools protobuf-compiler libgoogle-glog-dev ros-noetic-control-toolbox ros-noetic-mavros
$ sudo rosdep init
$ rosdep update
$ source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash

2. If you don't have ROS workspace yet you can do so by

$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src
$ catkin_init_workspace  # initialize your catkin workspace
$ wstool init
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethz-asl/rotors_simulator/master/rotors_hil.rosinstall
$ wstool merge rotors_hil.rosinstall
$ wstool update

Note On OS X you need to install yaml-cpp using Homebrew brew install yaml-cpp.

3. Build your workspace with python_catkin_tools (therefore you need python_catkin_tools)

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/
$ catkin build

3.1. If you don't have rotors_simulator

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/rotors_simulator.git

4. Add sourcing to your .bashrc file

   $ echo "source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
   $ source ~/.bashrc

@giabattag You are missing a python dependency:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'future'

[giabattag]

Thanks a lot, yeah I did not know that "future" was an actual python pip module, i confused it with future
