ROS Installation Guide

Local Installation vs. Docker Installation

When it comes to installing ROS (Robot Operating System), you have two main options: installing it locally on your system or using Docker.

Local Installation

  • Requires Ubuntu 22.04: The native installation of ROS Humble is officially supported only on Ubuntu 22.04.
  • Direct access to system resources: Provides better performance and direct access to hardware, which can be critical for some robotics applications.
  • Complex setup and maintenance: Managing dependencies and updates can be challenging.
