Build from Source

Please refer to the README in the cooresponding github repository for instructions to build the package from source.

Debian Repository

C++ libraries and binaries (including the widget apps) are provided as “.deb” installation packages. There are two methods you can aquire and install the released debian packages:

  • Download the “.deb” packages from the corresponding github repository and install with the “dpkg” command, e.g., $ sudo dpkg -i <package_name>.deb

  • Install the packages from Weston Robot’s apt-get server

Add Weston Robot’s apt source

Here are the steps you can follow to add the Weston Robot package source:

Note

We updated our apt-get server in July 2023. If you’ve added Weston Robot’s old apt source before, you will need to remove it first.

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weston-robot.list

Now follow the steps below to setup the repository.

  1. Add the GPG key for the Weston Robot repository:

$ sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
$ curl -fsSL http://deb.westonrobot.net/signing.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg
$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg

  1. Add the Weston Robot repository to your system’s software repository list:

$ echo \
    "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg] http://deb.westonrobot.net/$(lsb_release -cs) $(lsb_release -cs) main" | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weston-robot.list > /dev/null

  1. Now you can update the index and install packages with “apt-get” command.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install <package_name>

Note: Installation of additional third-party dependency packages may be required for a package provided by Weston Robot. Please follow the package-specific instructions.
