hello can you please help me in installing ros on linux mint

[leonardogarberoglio]

Hi, I've seen all VSCode and ROS extension series. Very usefull matrial. I've already setup a linux PC (ubuntu 22.04) with a container to run ROS1 in order to use RViz and visualize what's happening on robot's nodes. I'm wanted to do the same on windows computer, but have some questions. Docker in windows runs on WSL wich is a virtual machine. Is there a way to run ROS1 natively on windows?

Thanks for your content. Could you tell me if I could also clone the git repository for aibot_ws so that we could also follow along?

Great Tutorial on Windows 10 ROS. Thanks. I cloned your repository for your bot and everything loaded fine in VS 2019. However there is an error in CMakeLists.txt: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package):By not providing "Findcatkin.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "catkin", but
CMake did not find one. I didn't see how to change CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. Any suggestions?

Hi, I wanted to ask why you are installing ROS on windows with WSL? Is it necessary for the whole setup?

What I did:
1. On Win11, I installed WSL2 + Ubuntu 18 LTS via MS Store
2. In Ubuntu I installed ROS melodic according to ROS documentation (for university I am required to use this version)
3. I installed newest VSCode on Windows side
4. Launched VSCode in catkin workspace with "code ."
5. Installed all the extensions

seems to work fine for general development. I can code in VSC on windows, except my launch files launched from VSCode Debug mode do not execute my python scripts. but if I'm in the VSC terminal and execute the launchfile with roslaunch it works fine
- For the ros tutorial talker+listener the nodes appear shortly but vanish directly. then nothing happens. when executed from the terminal it works

Is it possible for some mistake in my configuration files CMakeLists, package.xml, .launch do be responsible?
Or do I have to remove everything and do it the way you did it to be able to debug?

Thanks in advance for any help
