I am trying to use drake c++ on ubuntu 22.04 and I have installed it using nightly build. The installation is completed in opt folder and the example on drake-external-examples run fine.
Drake on ubuntu 22.04 is not supported by drake visualizer and I could not find the link of the visualizer in opt folder. I was struggling to find the equivalent format when installed using apt/tar format with cmake outside the drake source format. I have been able to run meshcat visualizer in drake source examples.
I will appreciate if there is a link to an example utilizing meshcat visualizer with apt/tar installation.
If you were previously using /opt/drake/bin/drake-visualizer, you'll probably be best suited to use Meldis as the next step. Meldis will listen for LCM visualizer traffic just like drake-visualizer used to do.
Here's the command when using apt installed into /opt/drake on Ubuntu 22.04 as of Drake v1.12.0:
env PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/opt/drake/lib/python3.10/site-packages python3 -m pydrake.visualization.meldis -w
Sorry, I know that's a mouthful. We'll work on adding a shortcut and better documentation in a future release.
