Compiling and installing GRIPonGalileo

After completing the [Intel Galileo Setup]], the next step is to download, compile, and install the GRIPonGalileo software. See the [main wiki page for a quick introduction to GRIPonGalileo.

Download GRIPonGalileo project files

• On your computer
  • Visit the top-level GitHub page: https://github.com/GirlsOfSteelRobotics/GRIPonGalileo
  • Use the green "Clone or Download" button to download a ZIP file of the source code
  • scp Downloads/GRIPonGalileo-master.zip [email protected]: to transfer it to the Galileo via SCP
    • Windows users can use Putty's "PSCP" command instead

Transfer and compile the project

• From a root session on the Galileo
  • ssh [email protected] to log in as root (if you aren't still logged in from the setup steps)
  • unzip GRIPonGalileo-master.zip to unpack the ZIP archive
  • mv GRIPonGalileo-master GRIPonGalileo to shorten the directory name
  • cd GRIPonGalileo to change to the newly created directory
  • make to compile the software with the included sample pipeline
    • There are four steps that take about five minutes in total

Define a service for GRIPonGalileo

• From a root session on the Galileo
  • cp -p ~/GRIPonGalileo/GRIPonGalileo.service /lib/systemd/system/ to put the service definition in place
  • systemctl enable GRIPonGalileo to enable running GRIPonGalileo automatically after booting
  • systemctl start GRIPonGalileo to begin running GRIPonGalileo right now
