Hello,
I am Jacob, nice to meet you all and thanks for your work.
I am attending the Python3 for Robotics course but I am stuck at the beginning since when I try to create the virtual environment as reported in the course, the following error is returned:
Exact same problem, looks like the link is broken due to a missing folder (catkin_ws_python3 folder is missing). Tried installing updates and virtualenv but it didn’t solved the problem.
source ~/.py3venv/bin/activate
this is the command provided in the instructions, but in forum the updated command is:
source ~/.catkin_ws_python3/bin/activate
@potto95@Robots4Space_Bapt
After learning about virtual environments in python, I was able to create the missing virtual environment using the following sequence of commands:
I was wondering if there is the same problem in the course too. Because when I tried to follow the instructions in Unit 1: Basics - Move Ignisbot. In the very first code for running in physical robot, I met the same code, and the error is just like above.
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
mkdir -p my_catkin_ws_python3/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src/my_catkin_ws_python3
source ~/.py3venv/bin/activate
I am very new to ROS even coding, and here I found not many people are learning the same course with me. So I can get stuck easily, but I will try my best to keep learning. Thanks for your kind help.
