Updating Turtlebot to Ubuntu 16.04

Warning: Be sure to back up any work on the computer before you update it, as it will erase the disk.

Preparing the Boot Drive

If you already have a boot drive, skip this part.

Download this Ubuntu .iso file and put it onto the drive.

Installing 16.04

1. Insert the boot drive into a USB port on the laptop you are updating.
2. Start up the laptop and hold F12.
3. When the menu comes up, select the USB option.
4. After it boots up, run the "Install Ubuntu" program on the desktop.
5. Select a language, connect to a wi-fi network (this can be done later as well, if you need a username and password it must be done elsewhere), choose to install updates and third party software.
6. Choose to erase the disk. (This is the recommended option), then choose "Install now" and "Continue".
7. Set up the settings on the next pages however you want. (Tufts Turtlebots use the username "turtlebot" and the standard passward. I've been naming the computers "turtlebot-[number]-[name]", as in "turtlebot-1-leonardo", but that isn't official yet.)
8. When installation is finished, click "Restart now".

Setting everything up

1. Connect to wi-fi again.
2. Run setup.sh from here to install a lot of important packages. (You can just make a new file and paste it in yourself, then do ./setup.sh in the command line.)
3. Open ~/.bashrc with the command line and add this to the end: 'source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
4. Close and re-open the terminal.
5. Run the following commands to set up the catkin workspace.

mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src cd ~/catkin_ws/ catkin_make
