The Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL)

Linux / macOS Windows

Visit the OMPL installation page for detailed installation instructions.

OMPL has the following required dependencies:

• Boost (version 1.54 or higher)
• CMake (version 2.8.7 or higher)
• Eigen (version 3.3 or higher)

The following dependencies are optional:

• ODE (needed to compile support for planning using the Open Dynamics Engine)
• Py++ (needed to generate Python bindings)
• Doxygen (needed to create a local copy of the documentation at https://ompl.kavrakilab.org/core)

Once dependencies are installed, you can build OMPL on Linux, macOS, and MS Windows. Go to the top-level directory of OMPL and type the following commands:

mkdir -p build/Release
cd build/Release
cmake ../..
# next step is optional
make -j 4 update_bindings # if you want Python bindings
make -j 4 # replace "4" with the number of cores on your machine
