Environment

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• ROS2 Jazzy
• Terminal
• VS Code

Steps

1. Configure Ubuntu package sources.
2. Install ROS2 desktop tools.
3. Source the ROS2 environment script.
4. Run turtlesim to verify that ROS2 can launch graphical nodes.

Commands

source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash
ros2 run turtlesim turtlesim_node

Result

ROS2 is ready for later topic, node, visualization, and container experiments.

Summary

A correct ROS2 installation is the foundation of the whole course. This week confirms that the software stack can start ROS2 nodes and run a standard demo.

延伸思考

ROS2 环境搭建是整个课程的基石。后续的话题通信、可视化、Docker 容器化都依赖于此。在 WSL2 中运行 ROS2 兼顾了 Windows 日常使用的便利性和 Linux 开发环境的原生支持。
