ros-ws is a collection of simple tools for working with ROS source packages.
Installation
The ros-ws software uses pip to install itself. If you don’t have it yet, it is available as python-pip at Debian and Ubuntu. (Install using sudo apt install python-pip.)
Installation from PyPI
pip install ros-ws
For development it is recommended to install ros-ws with pip install -e. This installs a package in editable mode.
Installation from source
If you like to both use and hack ros-ws, you can ‘install’ the software by pointing the installation to the development code.
Make ros-ws available locally, eg by download or cloning the repository, for example
git clone https://github.com/Rayman/ros-ws.gitInstall using pip with the editable option -e DIR.
cd ros-ws pip install --user -e .The final . says that pip should redirect the ws command relative to this directory (to ./src/ros-ws).
