Install Docker on Windows

  1. First Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Open a command prompt with administration privileges and type.
wsl --install

  1. install Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS from Microsoft Store. All the procedure is explained in detail here:

    https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-11-with-gui-support#1-overv

  2. From Start run Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS, this is the procedure you should use to open a new terminal (do not use WSL).

  3. follow this procedure

Code Management:

To create your own code install the tool Visual Studio Code application together with the WSL extension as explained here. This will enable you to edit the code contained in the trento_lab_home/ros_ws/src folder.

To be able to open more terminals on the same window install terminator:

$ sudo apt install terminator

Nvidia Support:

If you have a Nvidia GPU install the driver assiciated to your GPU model directly in windows downloading it from this link (not inside Ubuntu!)

You can check if everything works with:

nvidia-smi

If you experiment any issue in using the Nvidia with OpenGL rendering (the symptom is that you cannot visualize STL meshes in RVIZ) then you should update to he latest mesa-driver:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mesa-utils
