Creating face tracker ROS packages

Let's start creating a new workspace for keeping the entire ROS project files for this book. You can name the workspace chapter_12_ws and follow these steps:

1. Download or clone the source code of this book from GitHub using the following link:

$ git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ROS-Robotics-Projects-SecondEdition.git

2. Now, you can copy two packages, named face_tracker_pkg and face_tracker_control, from the chapter_12_ws/ folder into the src folder of the chapter_12_ws workspace you created.
3. Compile the package using catkin_make to build the two project packages.

You have now set up the face tracker packages on your system.

What if you want to create your own package for tracking? Follow these steps:

1. First, delete the current packages that you copied to the src folder.

Note that you should be in the src folder of chapter_12_ws...
