Getting Started

This page summarizes what you need before running Rero Core and Rero ROS.

Supported platforms

The prebuilt Rero Core distributables currently target:

  • Ubuntu (x86_64) 24.04+
  • Raspbian (ARM) on Raspberry Pi

A prebuilt Raspberry Pi image is also available with Rero Core and ROS already configured.

System dependencies

Audio libraries

Rero Core uses ALSA and PortAudio. Install them first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libsndfile-dev

Then install PortAudio:

wget http://files.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v190700_20210406.tgz
tar -zxvf pa_stable_v190700_20210406.tgz
cd portaudio/
./configure --with-alsa
make
sudo make install

ROS 2 requirements

  • For ROS 2 integration, you need:

    • A ROS2 distribution (e.g., Humble/Foxy) with colcon installed.
    • gRPC C++ installed and discoverable by CMake. The current version of gRPC used by Rero Core and Rero ROS is v1.73.0.
