Ros2 Iron

Installation on Raspberry Pi 5 running default 64-bit OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Base

Add en_DK.UTF-8 in this list

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Then run

$ sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_DK.UTF-8 LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
$ export LANG=en_DK.UTF-8

Install the compiled version of ROS2. I couldn't get the pre-build version to work. Follow the instructions from here:

https://docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Alternatives/Ubuntu-Development-Setup.html

Note: I got:

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

Then I modified /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list

by adding "bookworm" near the end of the line
