Robotic Playground

A sandbox environment for experimenting with robotics concepts and tools.

Getting Started

Install Bazelisk

Install Bazelisk by following the instructions on the Bazelisk GitHub page.

Bazelisk on macOS

brew install bazelisk

Bazelisk on Ubuntu

If you do not have curl, install it using:

sudo apt-get install curl

Then download Bazelisk (choose the correct architecture):

For x86_64 systems:

curl -LO "https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/latest/download/bazelisk-linux-amd64"

For ARM64 systems (e.g., Apple Silicon or newer ARM-based Linux machines):

curl -LO "https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/latest/download/bazelisk-linux-arm64"

Make bazelisk executable

chmod +x bazelisk-linux-amd64

Move Bazelisk to a directory in your PATH:

sudo mv bazelisk-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/bazel

Verify the installation (this will install the appropriate Bazel version and print it):

bazel --version

To Run Examples

From the root directory of the project, run:

bazel run //path/to/package:target_name

Where:

• path/to/package is the relative path to the directory containing the BUILD or BUILD.bazel file.
• target_name is the name attribute of a rule like py_binary, cc_binary, or sh_binary.
