 Based on our application which is the autonomous vehicle we opt for ROS Melodic. Most versions of the packages work on this version, so this version is also used in this tutorial. ROS Melodic is primarily designed to run on the [[https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/|Ubuntu 18.04 LTS]] operating system. ROS can also be run in a separate [[https://www.docker.com/|Docker]] container. This allows ROS to run on many different operating systems and simplifies the management and development of robot software. Based on our application which is the autonomous vehicle we opt for ROS Melodic.
