===

A tool to generate skeletons of robot applications, mission controllers, tasks
and skills.

Relies on ROS 2 and the ROS 2 `Intents` interface.

Installation
------------

`rpk` is written in python3.

**Installation with pip**

``pip install rpk``


**Installation from source with pip**

You require the following libraries:

``pip install jinja2``

You can install ``rpk`` as any other python package as follows:

``pip install .``

If the location where it is installed is not yet on your path, you will get a
warning which includes the path location where it has been installed. You need
to add this location to your path, e.g., in linux ``export
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"`` or in [windows use the GUI or command
line](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9546324/adding-a-directory-to-the-path-environment-variable-in-windows)

**Installation with ROS debian (only availabe in PAL Robotics docker
images/robots)**

``sudo apt install pal-alum-rpk``

The re-source ``/opt/pal/alum/setup.bash``:
``source /opt/pal/alum/setup.bash``


Building your first rpk
-----------------------

Once you have installed rpk, you are ready to create new
applications for your robots. To do so, you just have to run:

``rpk create``

... and follow the instructions!

It will create a ROS2 package ready to be run.

You're then ready to play with the application controller.
