Building ROS navigation from source

edit

Hello all,

I am trying to use parts of the navigation package on my robot. I need to make some changes to the existing local planner and hence would like to build the package from source. I am quite new to this and was wondering if there are any instructions to do that? I am using ROS indigo on Ubuntu 14.04.

I have all my config files, launch files setup as instructed in the ros tutorial. I have mapping and localization set up as well. I have downloaded the whole package from the github repository and used catkin_make to build it successfully. Now should I follow the same steps as the ros tutorial to launch move base or are there any additional steps required?

Thanks in advance!
