Chapter 3 - Visual Programming using MiROS
IN THIS LESSON
You will learn how to install and set up MiROS.
To start your journey on Visual Programming with MiROS, visit the below website:
Click the DOWNLOAD MIROS button to start.
STEP 1
Download Docker Desktop
Docker hosts your ROS images and enables MiROS to connect with your robot via SSH.
MiROS supports ROS 2 Humble on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. By using Docker, users can access ROS 2 Humble through the MiROS web interface without installing Ubuntu or a Linux Virtual Machine (VM). This greatly enhances efficiency for users on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
To install Docker Desktop, visit:
Download MiROS
On the Download MiROS website, go to the “Step 2: Download MiROS Installer” section.
Select your Operating System and CPU Architecture based on your computer platform, then download the compatible MiROS Installer.
STEP 2
STEP 3
Install and Setup
Launch Docker Desktop before you install MiROS.
Double-click the MiROS Installer. Your default Terminal app will start downloading ROS 2 Humble for MiROS. Once the download has finished, the MiROS containers will appear in your Docker Desktop app.
After about 5 minutes, ROS 2 Humble will be loaded into MiROS. Your default web browser will automatically openand connect to http://localhost:8000.
If the page does not load automatically, please copy and paste http://localhost:8000 into your browser to access the MiROS homepage.
If you don’t have a MiROS account, sign up.
Once signed in, you will land on the Project Manager page. You can select a robot template or create a new project. By default, all projects run on ROS 2 Humble.
