Hi Everyone, I’m Meenu Hinduja and my husband Dheeraj Sudan, run a business. I’m trying to install Isaac ROS and want to make sure I’m setting it up correctly. I’d really appreciate hearing your suggestions, recommended setup steps, or any common mistakes to avoid. If you’ve already gone through the installation process, please share what worked best for you, especially regarding ROS/Ubuntu compatibility, Docker setup, and Jetson configuration.
Regards
Dheeraj Sudan and Meenu Hinduja
Hello @meenuhinduja907,
Thanks for reaching out.
A good place to start is the official Isaac ROS getting started guide, and the first thing I’d recommend is confirming that the ROS / Ubuntu / Jetson versions you’re using are a supported combination listed at System Requirements section.
For current Isaac ROS 4.x work, the main supported pairings are x86_64 + Ubuntu 24.04 + ROS 2 Jazzy and Jetson/aarch64 + JetPack 7 + ROS 2 Jazzy.
For Docker on Jetson, please make sure the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed, Docker is configured with the nvidia runtime, and your user is added to the docker group to avoid permission issues.
You could follow the initialize Isaac ROS CLI section here to proceed with your Docker setup.
