2_ROS2 Distro for Class - AhmadAmine998/6150-Spring2024-Website GitHub Wiki

Question

I was looking at the first lab and noticed that it asks us to install ROS2 Foxy, but I have already installed Humble for other purposes. Could I use that distro instead or are there packages in Foxy that are not in Humble?

Similar question. I've already had ROS2 jazzy installed on my ubuntu partition on my macbook. The ubuntu version is Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. I wonder whether this will work for this course?

Answer

The labs are thoroughly tested with ROS2 Foxy, but ROS2 Humble should work out of the box as well. The f1tenth stack works seamlessly with Humble and should not cause you any issues. Should you face any bugs/issues please let us know as we will support ROS2 Humble.

As for ROS2 jazzy, we have not tested the f1tenth stack against jazzy yet and so we can not guarantee that you won't face any issues. With that said, we are willing to support ROS2 jazzy, albeit with a slower turn-around for bug-fixes/solutions.
