System setup
------------

Set locale
^^^^^^^^^^

.. include:: _Ubuntu-Set-Locale.rst

Enable required repositories
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. include:: _Apt-Repositories.rst

.. _linux-install-debs-install-ros-2-packages:

Install development tools (optional)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are going to build ROS packages or otherwise do development, you can also install the development tools:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt update && sudo apt install ros-dev-tools

Install ROS 2
-------------

Update your apt repository caches after setting up the repositories.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt update

.. include:: _Apt-Upgrade-Admonition.rst

.. warning::

   Due to early updates in Ubuntu 22.04 it is important that ``systemd`` and ``udev``-related packages are updated before installing ROS 2.
   The installation of ROS 2's dependencies on a freshly installed system without upgrading can trigger the **removal of critical system packages**.

   Please refer to `ros2/ros2#1272 <https://github.com/ros2/ros2/issues/1272>`_ and `Launchpad #1974196 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1974196>`_ for more information.

Desktop Install (Recommended): ROS, RViz, demos, tutorials.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt install ros-{DISTRO}-desktop

ROS-Base Install (Bare Bones): Communication libraries, message packages, command line tools.
No GUI tools.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt install ros-{DISTRO}-ros-base

Install additional RMW implementations (optional)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The default middleware that ROS 2 uses is ``Fast DDS``, but the middleware (RMW) can be replaced at runtime.
See the :doc:`guide <../How-To-Guides/Working-with-multiple-RMW-implementations>` on how to work with multiple RMWs.

Setup environment
-----------------

Set up your environment by sourcing the following file.

.. code-block:: bash

   # Replace ".bash" with your shell if you're not using bash
   # Possible values are: setup.bash, setup.sh, setup.zsh
   source /opt/ros/{DISTRO}/setup.bash

Try some examples
-----------------

If you installed ``ros-{DISTRO}-desktop`` above you can try some examples.

In one terminal, source the setup file and then run a C++ ``talker``\ :

.. code-block:: bash

   source /opt/ros/{DISTRO}/setup.bash
   ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp talker

In another terminal source the setup file and then run a Python ``listener``\ :

.. code-block:: bash

   source /opt/ros/{DISTRO}/setup.bash
   ros2 run demo_nodes_py listener

You should see the ``talker`` saying that it's ``Publishing`` messages and the ``listener`` saying ``I heard`` those messages.
This verifies both the C++ and Python APIs are working properly.
Hooray!

Next steps after installing
---------------------------
Continue with the :doc:`tutorials and demos <../Tutorials>` to configure your environment, create your own workspace and packages, and learn ROS 2 core concepts.

Use the ROS 1 bridge (optional)
-------------------------------

The ROS 1 bridge can connect topics from ROS 1 to ROS 2 and vice-versa.
See the dedicated :doc:`document <../How-To-Guides/Using-ros1_bridge-Jammy-upstream>` on how to build and use the ROS 1 bridge.

Troubleshoot
------------

Troubleshooting techniques can be found :doc:`here <../How-To-Guides/Installation-Troubleshooting>`.

Uninstall
---------

If you need to uninstall ROS 2 or switch to a source-based install once you
have already installed from binaries, run the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt remove ~nros-{DISTRO}-* && sudo apt autoremove

You may also want to remove the repository:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt autoremove
   # Consider upgrading for packages previously shadowed.
   sudo apt upgrade
