Install Player/Stage - Linux (Ubuntu) - Notes for task

This task requires the user to have a Linux computer (e. g. Ubuntu Hardy) and of downloading the last stable version of the Player and Stage frameworks. Then the student will need to install the Player/Stage frameworks, but initially to install any required packages into the operating system. The goal of this task is to generate a functional developing platform.

The installation can be done by downloading two versions of the code. The first is the SVN version which uses a CMAKE method of installation and the file ./CONFIGURE version. The CMAKE version can be found in the SVN and downloading by “checking out” the source code. The ./CONFIGURE version can be obtained by the TAR file provided in the Player/Stage website.

The installation procedure is very important in order to generate the appropriate commands and libraries for Player/Stage. It is also required to redirect the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the “.bashrc” in each user HOME path.
