  1. Setup main bwi workspace using the following instructions: https://github.com/utexas-bwi/bwi

  2. Follow the instructions for cloning the arm related repositories here: https://github.com/utexas-bwi/segbot_arm

  3. After going through the list, then clone the actual segbot_arm repository as well and compile.

  4. If setting up on a new computer (one on which nobody has set up the arm before), then install the arm drivers per the instructions in the

    Kinova documentation available here: www.cs.utexas.edu/~jsinapov/kinova.zip

    The PDF's location in the archive is the following: ~/kinova/Documentation/Drivers Guides/

    The correct .deb file for our system is located in /kinova/Drivers/Ubuntu/64Bits/.Navigate to that folder in the terminal and then install the drivers by typing:

    sudo dpkg -i KinovaAPI-5.0.6-amd64.deb
