Before installing remote_lab stack in fuerte, please uninstall ros-fuerte-brown-remotelab debian package first if you already have it installed on your system (you can use Synaptic package manager for that). This is required because of a conflict in rosbridge that comes with the debian package. When you follow the steps below, you will get the working version of rosbridge.

To download the new remote_lab stack the following rosinstall file will get everything for you:

- svn: 
    local-name: remote_lab
    uri: 'http://svn.code.sf.net/p/bosch-ros-pkg/code/trunk/stacks/remote_lab'
- svn: 
    local-name: rosbridge
    uri: 'https://brown-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/experimental/rosbridge'
- svn: 
    local-name: roswww
    uri: 'https://brown-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/experimental/roswww'

To install the stack with rosinstall, create a new directory (e.g. remote_lab_bundle), in your ROS_PATH, create a file named .rosinstall in this directory and paste the above text into it, go to the directory in a terminal and follow these steps:

rosinstall . /opt/ros/fuerte

source ./setup.sh

rosmake wviz

rosmake mjpeg_server

rosmake wviz_tf_manager

rosmake map_compressor

After compiling the binaries, if you have pr2_gazebo stacks installed, you can test wviz out:

roslaunch wviz wviz_pr2_gazebo.launch

Now open a tab in Chrome and go to localhost:8000/roswww/wviz/wviz_simple.html

It should like this

If everything is OK so far, you can now proceed to wviz tutorials to learn more.
