Build ROS Image

Intro

Installing Linux and ROS

Install Ubuntu 16.04 - ROS Kinetic ONLY supports Wily (Ubuntu 15.10), Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) and Jessie (Debian 8) for debian packages.
- See the Ubuntu Site for Ubuntu Alternative Downloads for the Ubuntu 16.04 64Bit Workstation version.
  - Download/Torrent the the 16.04 image

What Did I Do?
- After Downloading the latest Ubuntu ISO image from Ubuntu Desktop
- I used Balena Etcher to create the USB boot Image from the downloaded ISO file
  - Select the Ubuntu ISO image and "flash" the USB stick

I had to boot and hit F10, to get into the boot options... select Advanced and maybe update he boot order to let the USB be the first item in the boot order
boot from USB and install 16.04 Ubuntu ( I overwrote all current OS)
- Not sure it's just the "crappy HP Zbooks, but they have a hard time getting a clean install... but eventually I get a clean install... I started using a 16 G USB and that seemed to work better.
- I also did not connect to the wifi, and will need to update after

Get some STEAM Clown ROS build scripts from the jimTheSTEAMClown GitHub site found at https://github.com/jimTheSTEAMClown/ROS
- After you have the Ubuntu 16.04 installed, you can then copy and run the following script. The goal is that it will copy this CPROSBuildScripts.sh file to your /home/<userDirectoryName> and when run, will create a /home/<userDirectoryName>/ROSBuildScripts directory and copy a bunch of scripts to support getting Ubuntu updated, and a working ROS image.
- The plan is to also have some scripts to build the student users... TBD

sudo chmod 755 CPROSBuildScripts.sh

sudo cat CPROSBuildScripts.sh

sudo sh CPROSBuildScripts.sh
