Compiling and installing GRIPonGalileo

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 root@galileo.local: 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 root@galileo.local 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
