Installation

This section covers software installation of the freetail demo system.

1. The freetail program must downloaded from source:

    svn checkout https://swri-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ swri-ros-pkg

2. The libraries required for freetail can be downloaded using the rosinstall tool:

    rosinstall -n . swri-ros-pkg/freetail/freetail.rosinstall

   NOTE: The rosinstall tool sometimes reports a failure due to a missing ROS package (THIS IS OK).

The sections below outline special steps that must be taken for specific stacks.

1. From the soem directory apply the patch found in freetail_io

    roscd soem

2. Make the freetail_io package

    roscd freetail_io
    rosmake

3. Give permission for ocl binary access ethernet port

    sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep bin/deployer-gnulinux
