installing vector_map_converter Autoware

edit

Hi,

I am trying to install the vector_map_converter tool to transform maps from lanelet2 to autoware, however it is not clear how exactly I should do this, the instructions say:

cd Autoware/
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ros/
./colcon_release

When I clone the repo and go inside Autoware folder to execute git submodule update --init --recursive the package for the vector_map_converter dissapears. . Now, I am also not sure why the colcon_release is used instead of the run.sh or the build like the Autoware instructions says.

If I try to run the colcon_release I get the following errors:
