🖥️ Local Machine installation (Direct install)

This tutorial will walk you through the setup required to make a host machine ready to build and run the Dave simulations. Note that:

your host will need to satisfy the minimum system requirement
- A modern multi-core CPU, e.g. Intel Core i5
- 8 Gb of RAM
- A discrete Graphics Card, e.g. Nvidia GTX 650
  - The environment can be run without a GPU, but the Gazebo simulation will run much faster (should run in real-time) with access to a GPU. Without a GPU the simulation is likely to run slower than real-time.
The steps below assume you are running Linux system with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble).
- For Mac with Apple Silicons (e.g. M1) installing it natively would cause many problems to run tutorials (It is not recommended!). Alteenatives are:
  - VMware Fusion PRO(Free) Virtual Ubuntu : https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2024/05/fusion-pro-now-available-free-for-personal-use.html
  - Docker. Go to 📦 For Mac with Apple Silicons (e.g. M1)
- For Windows, go to 💻 Windows Machine (X86 64bit)
To use Multi-beam Sonar and NIVIDA CUDA capabilities, follow

▶️ For Linux Systems (Ubuntu 24.04 Noble)

Type following code lines in terminal window. It will auto install what is required for the Dave (ROS-Gazebo framework)
```
sudo /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IOES-Lab/dave/ros2/extras/ros-jazzy-gz-harmonic-install.sh>)"
```
- To understand what it does, look for the manual installation below
- Move to 🔎 Verify ROS-Gazebo Framework setup

▶️ For Mac OS X (Apple Silicon, e.g. M1)

Type following code lines in terminal window. It will auto install what is required for the Dave (ROS-Gazebo framework)
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IOES-Lab/ROS2_Jazzy_MacOS_Native_AppleSilicon/main/install.sh>)"
```
- Activate virtual environment and move to 🔎 Verify ROS-Gazebo Framework setup
