If you want to install from the source package on Linux, you need to build OpenRTM-aist-Python yourself. The following explains the build procedure on Ubuntu 18.04.

Supported OS and distribution

• Ubuntu
• Debian (Supporting versions of OPenRTM-aist are limited)
• Fedora (Supporting versions of OpenRTM-aist are limited )

You may be able to build OpenRTM-aist python on a Linux/UNIX environment other than the above if it is a normal Linux/UNIX environment.

Dependent library

• python: required to use build tools
• omniORBpy: Required for OpenRTM-aist build (IDL compilation)

Please install according to the documentation of each software. If these packages are installed under standard directories (/ usr, /usr/lib/, etc.), the subsequent OpenRTM-aist-Python build will be relatively easy.

On Ubuntu and Debian, you can install the software by the following command.

 $ sudo apt-get install python-omniorb-omg omniidl-python omniorb-nameserver

Download source

• https://github.com/OpenRTM/OpenRTM-aist-Python/releases/tag/v1.2.1

Extracting source code

• Unzip the source code package OpenRTM-aist-Python-1.2.1.tar.gz into an appropriate directory.

   $ tar xvzf OpenRTM-aist-Python-X.X.X.tar.gz
   $ cd OpenRTM-aist-Python-X.X.X

Build

OpenRTM-aist-Python uses the distutils module to build packages. Build the package in the same way as other packages using distutils.

 $ python setup.py build [options]

Available options in [options] can be found by:

 $ python setup.py --help

Install

After the build is completed successfully, install the Python modules and utility commands by the following command:

 $ sudo python setup.py install

This completes the build and installation from the source code.
