Installation

  1. Git clone the package into catkin workspace src folder.

    cd ~/catkin_ws git clone https://github.com/tolgasaglik/Gesture-Recognition-with-Openpose-ROS.git

  2. Go into the project folder and initialize your workspace.

    cd src/gesture_detector catkin_init_workspace

  3. Build your package.

    cd ~/catkin_ws catkin_make

  4. Source you environment.
