## This is a new version with daemon instance!
Whats new:
* Remote access and control of launch and configuration files.
* Easy remote editing of launch files.
* Monitoring for ROS nodes and system resources on remote hosts.

# FKIE multimaster for ROS
The ROS stack of *fkie_multimaster* offers a complete solution for using ROS with multicores.
In addition, Node Manager with a daemon provide a GUI-based management environment that is very useful to manage ROS-launch configurations and control running nodes, also in a single-core system.
## Packages have been renamed
The FKIE multimaster packages used to have an \_fkie suffix. In conformance with [REP-144](http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0144.html), all packages have been renamed with an fkie\_ prefix, starting from version 1.0.0.
If you have built an older version from source, make sure to remove the build artifacts of the old versions from your build space.
## Install
The communication between the Node Manager GUI and the Daemon is based on Python [gRPC](https://grpc.io/). If you are using Ubuntu 18.10 or later, you can simply run `sudo apt install python-grpcio python-grpc-tools`. For Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, we provide a [PPA backport of the gRPC libraries](https://launchpad.net/~roehling/+archive/ubuntu/grpc). If your Ubuntu version is older than that, you need to install `grpcio-tools` from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/grpcio-tools/).
You can run the following commands to setup a build from source:
```
cd catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/multimaster_fkie.git multimaster
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths multimaster
```
Then build all packages:
```
catkin build fkie_multimaster
```
