Installation and setup

RDS is installed in 3 easy steps:

  1. Install dependencies
  2. Extract RDS
  3. Configure RDS

1. Install Dependencies

Make sure you install the following dependencies:

  • Python dependencies:
sudo apt install python3-pip 
pip3 install rich
pip3 install pynput
pip3 install gdown
  • Other Dependencies
sudo apt-get install libgstrtspserver-1.0-0 graphviz libgvc6 octave babeltrace

2. Extract RDS

RDS is delivered as a tarball, put that tarball in any location in your Jetson board and extract it with the following command: 

tar -xvf toolkit-jetson-<module>-<JP_VERSION>.tar

3. Configure RDS

Once you've extracted the content of RDS, you just need to perform 2 additional steps. From now on we'll call $RDS to the folder containing RidgeRun Development Suite:

a. Download sample videos


Info
This is a one-time step, do it just the first time you configure RDS


Some of the included demos make use of videos to demonstrate the functionality, and they have to be downloaded before running any sample application. 

cd $RDS/videos
./download_samples.sh

This will take a while, so be patient.

b. Configure your environment

Before using RDS, your environment must be properly configured to ensure all included software is available on your system. This is done by running a convenient script included in the package: 

cd $RDS
./configuration.sh

After this, your prompt should change to something like (your RDS name) regular-prompt:.

Congratulations, you have completed the setup process, and you are now ready to use RDS!!


Info

The configuration script will create a new bash with the environment setup for RDS; no files are copied to your system. If you want to exit this environment, just run exit: 

exit
