Code Installation instructions

Note: This assumes you have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04. If you already have a folder in your home directory called catkin_ws then you will need to rename it before running this installation script or change the name_catkin_workspace variable in line 16 of the setup script.

Download and run the installation script using the following commands:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philipdames/mee4411_turtlebot3/master/remote_pc_setup_melodic.sh
chmod 755 remote_pc_setup_melodic.sh
bash remote_pc_setup_melodic.sh
