Query regarding ros1-ros2 bridge

[jayprajapati009]

Greetings,

I am using Ubuntu 22 and Ros2 Humble (Debian install). I want to use the ros1-ros2 bridge for a project.

I tried installing ros1 using "sudo apt install ros-desktop" but got errors.
I saw the ros2 page and understood that one way is to install ros2 using source.

Is there any way to do it without installing ros2 using source?

Hi @jayprajapati009,

It's a little tricky to get all the pieces of the bridge working correctly, especially since there is no official release of ROS1 for Ubuntu 22.04. Check out this page for some explanation of different ways to approach the install:

I built my docker container off of Ubuntu 20.04 so that I could install ROS1 Noetic from binaries. I needed to install ROS2 Humble from source to make this work.
To install on 22.04, you might be able to install ROS2 from binaries with an upstream version of ROS1, but I haven't tried it.
