This package provides a set of desktop shortcuts for common ROS tools and a mime type for .launch files. It should work with Ubuntu and most ROS versions.

It is a fork of this repository for ROS Hydro. Credit belongs to them, I only changed the shortcuts to work with other ROS versions.

Install everything by executing

sudo python setup.py install --record record.txt
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

The command above saves a list of installed files to the file record.txt. As long as you keep this file you can uninstall it with

cat record.txt | sudo xargs rm -rf

If you want to install shortcuts for the PR2 robot you can modify the following line in setup.py before installing:

install_pr2 = True
