Copy the file switchros into your .local folder (~/.local) or any other place where you store your local scripts, and add this folder to your path by adding following lines to your .bashrc file:
export PATH=~/.local:$PATH
. switchros
Also do not forget to remove/comment any source commands you have added your .bashrc file for sourcing ROS.
To switch ROS version, enter the following command in terminal:
switchros <version>
Where version is the version of ros you want to use.
You can also use:
switchros <destro>
Where destro is the name of ros destro you want to use.
- By default it will use noetic for ros 1 and galectic for ros 2. This can be changed by editing script file.
- If you want to execute any other command other than sourcing your ros installation, you can add it in the section present in shell script.
- This script will also create a hidden file in your
homedirectory with name.rosversion.
- Add a more convinient way to change default ros version.
- Seperate user defined commands from the main script file.
