Overview

ros_explorer is a web-based utility for browsing the ROS graph.

Running

ROS Explorer is just a web page, so there is nothing to install or build. You will need rosbridge_server, however.

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosbridge-server

Clone the code to your catkin workspace, or install it with:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-explorer

Then, run:

# If you do not already have a websocket server running:
roslaunch ros_explorer ros_explorer_websocket.launch

# If you are already running a websocket server for other purposes:
roslaunch ros_explorer ros_explorer.launch

This will create a server that serves the website on http://localhost:8595. It should also open the webpage in your default web browser automatically (using the xdg-open command). If this does not work, you can just visit http://localhost:8595 manually.
