Use a Source Workspace

Complete the environment setup on each machine used for DisplayPort development. Keep the same ISAAC_ROS_WS workspace layout for the robot, model preparation, and simulation.

Activate and Source the Workspace

Open the Isaac ROS environment and source your built packages in each terminal:

isaac-ros activate
source ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/install/setup.bash

Check that the workspace supplies the manipulation package:

ros2 pkg prefix isaac_ros_manipulation_bringup

The result should be under ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/install. If it is not, rebuild the source workspace and source its setup script before launching the tutorial.

Build Dependencies

Place the required Isaac ROS repositories and their source dependencies under ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src. Resolve system dependencies with rosdep --ignore-src so packages already present in the source workspace are built there. Follow the package and model setup for the source-build commands and targeted FoundationPose and Segment Anything (SAM) preparation.

Keep Terminal Settings Consistent

Use the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID and the tutorial’s middleware settings in every terminal. Follow the DisplayPort simulation tutorial for simulator settings, or the physical-robot tutorial for Zenoh and robot configuration.
