Github release

Check the latest release from Github.

C++ library navground::{core|sim}

Download the appropriate installer, which is a .deb package for (Debian-based) Linux, a .pkg installer for macOs, or a .exe installer for Windows. Pay attention to download the file for the correct architecture. Installers are named like navground_<version>_<os>_<architecture>.{exe|pkg|deb}.

Run the installer. By default, on macOs and Linux, it will install navground in /opt/navground, while on Windows in C:\Program Files\navground.

Note

On Linux, the following command, which requires wget, downloads and installs/updates navground automatically:

wget -qO- https://api.github.com/repos/idsia-robotics/navground/releases/latest \
  | grep "browser_download_url.*`dpkg --print-architecture`.deb" \
  | cut -d : -f 2,3 | tr -d \" | wget -P ./tmp-navground  -qi - \
&& sudo apt-get install -y ./tmp-navground/*.deb && rm -rf ./tmp-navground

Python package navground.{core|sim}

After installing the C++ library, from the same release, download and install the corresponding wheel. Pip is able to find it using --find-links:

$ pip install --find-links https://api.github.com/repos/idsia-robotics/navground/releases/latest navground

Add [all] to install all optional dependencies:

$ pip install --find-links https://api.github.com/repos/idsia-robotics/navground/releases/latest navground[all]

Note

Install these wheels, not the one from PyPi, if you want that the navground Python package uses the installed shared libraries. In fact, the wheels from PyPi contain a copy of all required shared libraries: if you import a Python package installed from these wheels, it will load its copy of the shared libraries, not the installed ones.

This is particularly important when developing C++ plugins: plugins linked against the installed navground c++ libraries will be discovered by the package installed from the wheels released on Github but not from PyPi wheels.
