MoveIt 2 Installation

Unlike ROS 1, ROS 2 Humble requires manual installation of MoveIt 2.

Installation Steps

1. Install the MoveIt 2 Main Package

bash
sudo apt install ros-humble-moveit

If it runs without errors after installation, it is successful. Note that different ROS 2 versions use different commands; this tutorial uses Humble as an example.

2. Install MoveIt Setup Assistant

bash
sudo apt install ros-humble-moveit-setup-assistant
bash
sudo apt install ros-humble-moveit-*

4. Launch Setup Assistant

bash
ros2 run moveit_setup_assistant moveit_setup_assistant

If the following interface appearss, the installation is successful. The usage workflow of MoveIt Setup Assistant is essentially the same in ROS 2 as in ROS 1, so it will not be covered here.
