NOTE: jsk_visualization and grid_map is not provided in Ubuntu15.04 Jade. Please download it from the following repository and build it by yourself. https://github.com/jsk-ros-pkg/jsk_visualization https://github.com/ethz-asl/grid_map

How to Build

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware.git
$ cd ~/Autoware/ros/src
$ catkin_init_workspace
$ cd ../
$ ./catkin_make_release

###Caffe based object detectors CV based detectors RCNN and SSD nodes are not automatically built.

To build these nodes please follow the respective node's README SSD RCNN

How to Start

$ cd $HOME/Autoware/ros
$ ./run

For Developers

Be careful for changing files under ros/src/sensing/drivers/lidar/packages/velodyne. There is subtree. Original repository is here. If you change those files from this repository, you must use git subtree push. (Please never change and push code if you don't understand git subtree well).

GitFlow, git branching model, is introduced in Autoware repository.

• When you adding new features, you can branch off your feature branch from develop.
  you can use the following command.
  $ git checkout -b feature/[your_branch_name] develop
• When you find bugs in master branch, you can branch off your hotfix branch from master.
  you can use the following command.
  $ git checkout -b hotfix/[your_branch_name] master
