Where are the source codes stored?
Hello all,
I am a new ros user trying to get familiar with the environment. I am working with the husky mobile robot package and I am wondering, when I launch the gmapping_demo.launch file in husky_navigation, I know it launches gmapping.launch subsequently.
In the gmapping.launch file, it starts a node with the gmapping package.....my question is, where is the source code for gmapping actually stored in my computer?
I know that there is a gmapping package like this available on github; however, I never installed this so how does my system know how to run gmapping with just installing the husky package? For example, in this package, there is a slam_gmapping/gmapping/src folder that contains the slam_gmapping.cpp file which I believe is the code that makes gmapping work. I am essentially trying to find the slam_gmapping.cpp from the slam_gmapping package in my computer.
I must be missing something ...
Did you do the Desktop-full install?
yes I did desktop-full install
Simply do roscd to the package_name . It will take you to the directory and you will know
