Supported Platforms

We support Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 64 bit. At the same time we have a CI system that builds Grip on a 32 bit machine regularly. It says currently Grip is build status.

Dependencies

GRIP requires the following dependencies:

• dart (>2.3.0)
• libwxgtk2.8-dev

You can install DART using the instructions at its project wiki.

Install Grip

From repositories

sudo apt-get install grip

From source

If you want to develop on GRIP, download the source code

git clone git://github.com/dartsim/grip.git

Make your changes, and compile it

cd grip
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

To build a debian package and install it

../auto.sh debs <precise/quantal>
sudo dpkg -i *.deb (or the generated deb file) 

Run a bare GRIP application

grip-run

Note: If you get a linking error of the type: Cannot open shared libraries urdfdom* try by adding the path to the library (i.e. /usr/local/lib) to LD_LIBRARY_PATH so grip-run can find it.

Un-installing Grip

If you installed Grip from the repositories or by using cpack and dpkg:

sudo apt-get remove grip

Download samples code

We have a number of simple samples demonstrating how to use GRIP for your own projects.

If you installed Dart and Grip from apt-repo

 sudo apt-get install grip-samples

Samples will be installed in /usr/share/grip/samples/

If you installed Dart and Grip from source

  git clone git://github.com/dartsim/grip-samples.git
  cd grip-samples
  cmake .
  make
