Gen 4 - Going to Ubuntu 18.04

• We are planning to move students' and teachers' computers to Ubuntu 18.04

• It has a nicer to use Desktop and is also the currently supported Ubuntu

• It supports ROS Melodic (and ROS Melodic does not support the old Ubuntu)

Installation notes

• Follow Ubuntu's own installation instructions to install a clean copy of Ubuntu

• As Robotis is still on Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic we have to amend their instructions a little

• Our baseline is http://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/platform/turtlebot3/pc_setup/

Commands

Core install of Melodic

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/robotis_tools/master/install_ros_melodic.sh && chmod 755 ./install_ros_melodic.sh && bash ./install_ros_melodic.sh
