Build the project

If you have installed ROS2 & colcon (being one of the tools to be installed), and cloned the project, simply navigate to the project directory and type the command colcon build:

source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
cd ~/smov
colcon build

The entire project is likely to take some time to complete. On older models of Raspberry Pi such as the 3 B+, you can use commands such as --cmake-target [name] or similar, to avoid freezing your device. You can use the build.sh file with a special argument in such a scenario:

cd ~/smov/scripts
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

You can take a look at the official documentation here.

You can also remove old builds using clean.sh:

cd ~/smov/scripts
chmod +x clean.sh
./clean.sh
