Working with the simulation

Setup Simulation

Downloading the simulation:

Clone the repository if you haven't done it already. (Enter your GitHub credentials when prompted)

cd && git clone https://github.com/WPI-NASA-SRC-P2/srcp2-final-public.git

Please read the wiki to install the sim.

Setting the aliases for easing the usage:

Add the sourcing line to the bashrc by executing this command:

echo "source ~/srcp2-final-public/aliases.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

Starting and stopping the Simulation

With the aliases set above, simulation should start with a command src_start_simulation, and can be killed with a command src_stop_simulation

(For the first time, you might have to execute source ~/.bashrc or use a new terminal)

Terminal

To attach a terminal to the simulation docker, execute src_sim_terminal

(You won't usually need this access, but the alias has been set nonetheless)
