Installation¶
Ubuntu¶
Obtain the correct
neobotix-pilot-core-
debian package for your architechture and Ubuntu version. For example, the file name for the x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04 package ends with-x86_64-ubuntu-20.04.deb
.Install the package as follows:
sudo dpkg -i neobotix-pilot-core-*.deb
Install missing dependencies via:
sudo apt -f install
The contents of the package should now be installed under
/opt/neobotix/pilot-core/
.Optionally, but highly recommended, install the necessary drivers for hardware acceleration (OpenCL or CUDA) depending on your PC. For example, for OpenCL on an intel chipset you need
intel-opencl-icd
.If you received a license security dongle and you already attached it, you may need to unplug it and attach it again in order for the installed udev rule to take effect.
To change the default workspace folder (which is ~/pilot/) set the following environment variable in your
~/.bashrc
:export PILOT_HOME=/your/custom/path source ~/.bashrc
To setup the workspace execute the following script:
sh /opt/neobotix/pilot-core/scripts/pilot_setup.sh /opt/neobotix/pilot-core
This will setup the pilot workspace folder, as selected in the previous step, with default settings.
Change into the pilot workspace folder. The paths in the following steps will be relative to this location.
Change the default configuration to match your platform type:
echo /opt/neobotix/pilot-core/config/default/mpo-700/ > config/local/parent
where you replace
mpo-700
with your platform type.If you received a license security dongle, edit your
config/local/LicenseCheck.json
file to contain your license key which you should find printed on the dongle.Set a name and serial for your platform in
config/local/platform.json
.Optionally set additional custom configuration options in
config/local
, see Configuration.Optionally setup users and passwords, see User Management.
To enable autostart:
cp /usr/share/applications/Neobotix-PlatformPilot.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
In addition you can install a desktop launcher as follows:
xdg-desktop-icon install /usr/share/applications/Neobotix-PlatformPilot.desktop
You may need to right click on the icon first and select “Allow Launching” to activate it.
