MAS GUI
New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).
The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).
Install
We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:
Install dependencies
You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.
sudo snap install ttyd --classic
Update nodejs to v20
The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Server Side (Back-End)
cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite
Then build all packages:
catkin build fkie_mas_meta
or
colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta
Client Side (Front-End)
Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:
cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build
Usage
Run the app in developer mode:
npm run dev
The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.
Start only as node (without GUI)
Starts a server on default port 6274. You can override the port with npm run server – –port 6363.
npm run server
Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

Additional Tools
- To package the client component into an AppImage, run:
cd fkie_mas_gui
npm run build:linux
- update licenses of dependencies
npm install -g license-report
license-report --config=./license-report-config.json > src/renderer/deps-licenses.json
Known Issues
- If you work behind a proxy, you might need to explicitly specify the
URLandPORTbefore downloading the electron packages. The problem occurs when installing the package (npm install).
export ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY=true
export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY=http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX
-
The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now.: You can check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/42510 for more details. Use--no-sandboxargument as workaround, e.g.:
npm run dev -- --no-sandbox
or
mas-gui.appimage --no-sandbox
- If you get the SFPT error:
getSftpChannel: Packet length XXXXXX exceeds max length of XXXXX, it might be caused by anechocommand on the.bashrcfile. Make sure allechocommands are defined only for interactive shells. For instance in.bashrc:
...
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
*i*) ;;
*) return;;
esac
echo "your echo commands here!"
See related reports on Stack Exchange, SSH2 GitHub or StackOverflow.
- You don’t see the correct output in external terminal. Try to change your default terminal:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
