• Switch to the ros2_humble branch

  git checkout ros2_humble
  

• Copy the ros2_humble.sh script
• Run the above script. It will pull the required docker image and take you inside a docker container with a terminal

The default name of this directory (in your computer) is ros2_humble_shared_volume and is located at the $HOME directory.
• Inside the ros2_humble_shared_volume, copy the ros2 installation script custom_humble_install.sh. Make it executable if not already chmod +x custom_humble_install.sh
• Execute the custom_humble_install.sh

  cd ~/ros2_humble_shared_volume
  ./custom_humble_install.sh

• If the installation is successful, you should be able to execute the ros2 commands
• To open another terminal in inside the docker container, just execute the ros2_humble.sh script again.
