Does the installer install ROS2 natively on the Jetson?
Installer runs BotBrain in Docker (not native ROS2); dev options for customization.
No. The standard installation process does not install ROS2 directly onto the Jetson host OS.
Instead, the BotBrain stack runs inside isolated Docker containers (pulled automatically from Docker Hub). This helps prevent dependency conflicts and ensures a consistent environment.
If you want to develop custom features, you have two options:
- Install ROS2 natively on your host machine (it can communicate with the containers since they share the host network), or
- Use the provided Docker dev container, which comes pre-configured with ROS2 tools and workspaces.
