Before continuing forward, verify that the following checklist items are complete:

GSuite
Jira
Confluence
GitLab all set up.
General Software Onboarding (it's strongly recommended that the ROS tutorials are completed).

Protobuf3 installation instructions:

If working with HERE Maps, you probably need to install protobuf to decode the HERE Map file dump into a geojson textfile
Follow instructions from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1072683/how-can-i-install-protoc-on-ubuntu-16-04

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool curl make g++ unzip

Download protobuf-all-v3.6.1.tar.gz. from here
Extract the contents and change into the directory

./configure
make
make check
sudo apt-get install checkinstall # use checkinstall instead of make install
sudo checkinstall
sudo ldconfig # refresh shared library cache.

Now set up your work space. Your directory structure should look something like this:

catkin_ws/
    CMakeLists.txt
    src/
        prediction/ (master)
        localization/ (master)
        ros_msgs/ (master)
    devel/
    build/
    rosbags/

To launch the object tracking node and the dummy publisher run
rosrun prediction tracker_node
rosrun prediction visualizer_node
rosrun prediction test_publisher_node

See here for a demo on what the below output might look like.

We often test with rosbags that we currently store here.
