Installation

Prerequisites

• Operating System: Linux (the only platform tested and supported).
• C++ Compiler: Must support C++17 (e.g., GCC 9+, Clang 10+).
• CMake: Version 3.15 or higher.
• Python: Version 3.11 or higher.
• OpenMP: Required for parallelization.
  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libomp-dev

Installing with uv (Recommended)

The recommended way to install and manage rclib for development is using uv.

# Clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hrshtst/rclib.git
cd rclib

# Install dependencies and the project (wraps the required two-step `uv sync`)
./scripts/setup-dev.sh

Installing via pip

You can also install it using standard pip:

pip install .

Note: The --recursive flag in git clone is crucial because rclib uses submodules for its C++ dependencies (Eigen, Catch2, pybind11).
