Installation

The rosinstall installation is based around a 32 bit version of python (x86). This must be the case even for win64 as many python modules do not yet have 64 bit versions. Note - this is not a big issue, so don't worry.

Installs:

• Wget

• Python 2.7.2

• PyWin32 217

• PyYaml 3.10

• PyMercurial 2.1.1

• PySvn 1.7.4

• MSysGit 1.7.9 - select 'Run git and unix tools from windows command prompt'

• Sliksvn 1.6.9/Sliksvn 1.7.2

• Rospkg 1.0.6

• RosInstall 0.6.17

• setuptoos-0.6c11.win32-py2.7

Setup

• Add C:\Python27\ and C:\Python27\Scripts to your PATH variable if not already present.

Usage

Options are identical to that for rosinstall. An example for rosinstall usage (one line):

> rosinstall C:\opt\catkin https://raw.github.com/stonier/win_ros/master/msvc_fuerte.rosinstall

And for rosws usage:

> rosws init --catkin src
> cd src
> rosws set catkin --git https://github.com/yujinrobot/catkin.git
> rosws set genmsg --git git://github.com/ros/genmsg.git
> rosws set gencpp --git git://github.com/ros/gencpp.git
> rosws set genpy --git git://github.com/ros/genpy.git
> rosws update catkin
> rosws update genmsg
> rosws update gencpp
> rosws update genpy

For more detailed usage notes, refer to rosinstall's documentation.

Differences to RosInstall

• Adds a function which automatically sets up a windows setup.bat script.

• Scripts other than rosinstall/rosws, notably rosco and roslocate are not yet included.
