Ros2 Iron

Base

Add en_DK.UTF-8 in this list

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Then run

$ sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_DK.UTF-8 LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
$ export LANG=en_DK.UTF-8

Follow "Enable required repository" and "Install development tools" from https://docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Alternatives/Ubuntu-Development-Setup.html

Note, I got:

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

Then I modified /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list

by adding "iron" near the end of the line

Ros2

Get ROS 2 code from https://docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Alternatives/Ubuntu-Development-Setup.html

It takes some time to do the vcs (version control system) from vcstool:

vcs import --input https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros2/ros2/iron/ros2.repos src
