Instruction how to install the ESROCOS development environment on your PC.

Prerequisites

You will require a working TASTE installation. Currently, we suggest you to use the TASTE Virtual Box image. Installation an dusage instructions for TASTE can be found at the TASTE Community Homepage.

Instruction

1. Start TASTE Virtual Machine
2. Within the TASTE Linux System, start a shell
3. Download the bootstrap file

   mkdir esrocos
   cd esrocos
   wget https://esrocos.github.io/dl/install_esrocos .
   

4. Execute boot strap file

   chmod 770 install_esrocos
   ./install_esrocos
   

   During the installation process you’ll be asked a few questions. Choose the following options:

   • When asked for the access protocoll for git repositories, choos http.
   • When asked to select an ESROCOS version to install, choose monolithic.
5. Initialize Workspace The ESROCOS installation can now be found the /home/assert/esrocos folder of your TASTE Virtual Box image. To setup your ESROCOS workspace, you need to source the env.sh file, which is located within your ESROCOS workspace folder.

   source /home/assert/esrocos/env.sh
   

   You might want to automatically intialize the ESROCOS workspace, evrytime you start a terminal in yout TASTE Virtual Box. This can be achived by instructing the shell to automatically source the env.sh file.

   echo "source /home/assert/esrocos/env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
   

Congratulations, now your ESROCOS installation is ready to be used!
