However the last supported ROS distribution seems to be Indigo, a few releases from the latest Melodic distribution. But it is still possible to install and run the package on the latest ROS distribution. To do that, the source code from https://github.com/jack-oquin/velodyne_height_map must be downloaded and compiled on the ROS installation. The following steps illustrate the procedure.
Create a ROS Catkin workspace
- Follow the tutorial here at https://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace to create an empty workspace, e.g /path/to/catkin_ws/.
- Open up a Terminal. Change the directory to the location of the Catkin workspace's src directory created earlier.
$ cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
- Assuming git is installed, clone the velodyne height map source code.
$ git clone https://github.com/jack-oquin/velodyne_height_map.git
- In the Terminal, change the directory to the root of the Catkin workspace.
$ cd /path/to/catkin_ws - Type in the following command to build the packages.
$ catkin_make
$ rosrun velodyne_height_map heightmap_node
