Instead of installing ROS and other dependencies directly on your host machine, you can use a Docker Container to create the environment you need to build and run the VRX simulation platform.

Follow the instructions in the linked page from the dockwater Wiki to prepare your system to build the image. Return here when finished.

These instructions walk you through building and running a Docker image that contains all the dependencies needed to build and use the VRX simulation platform.

After completing the two steps above, move on to creating your workspace.
