Install Webots and clone repository

Welcome to this section which presents the steps to install the Webots simulator and how to clone the repository from Github.

1. Launch the Virtual Machine image

Double-click on the Virtual Machine image (VMi) in Virtual Box software to start it.
Close the internet page.
(Facultative) Change the keyboard entry settings using the icon DE on the top right of the Ubuntu desktop.
Launch SmartMDSD Toolchain v3.12.
Check the box Use this as the default and do not ask again, then click on Launch button.
Normally with this VMi you have nothing more to do. Before you should have to import some repository (see reference 3).
Close SmartMDSD Toolchain v3.12.

Step 1: Install

Open internet, go on the Webots website and download the latest Linux archive version.
Extract the archive (right-click and Extract here or use tar -xvjf file.tar.b2z)
Move the webots folder into /home/smartsoft/SOFTWARE/
Delete the archive to save space of the VMi.

Step 2: Launch

Open a terminal and go in the webots folder: cd /home/smartsoft/SOFTWARE/webots
Launch Webots software: ./webots
Select your layout configuration between the three possibilities.
It is possible that you get a warning message about your graphical configuration.
In menu Tools, under Preferences, you can change some parameters such as the OpenGL ones for the graphics. Another one useful is the Startup mode under the General tab, to define the behavior of Webots when opening a world.
You can follow the Webots Guided Tour to discover Webots features trough examples.
You can close Webots software.

Return in the terminal and go in the repos folder of Smartsoft: cd /home/smartsoft/SOFTWARE/smartsoft/repos/
Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/DavidMansolino/AROSYS.git

The installation of Webots and the copy of the repository are complete.
