Should we replace this URL with the https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/yantra-dev ? I found the later to be more to the point.

you are right @at669 . Can't we copy the Readme and modify it a bit to our Unity-Hub tutorial directory (@sarah-gibson)?

I see, you are right . So, can someone without prior ROS experience be able to set it up just using the https://www.ros.org/install/ instructions, and not using the VM image?

@hyounesy the instructions are Ubuntu/Debian/Windows-centric, so assuming they have access to a VM image or a dedicated machine, I think this will be able to take them through the necessary steps, and any installation-related issues will be better off getting help from the ROS sites. our tutorials are made specifically using Melodic, but I didn't want to link specifically to that given that only the tutorials are made using it, but I believe the packages are version agnostic as long as they are still ROS 1 instead of 2.

Actually, I have a radical suggestion: I don't think we should include prerequisites on this page at all. It feels like they belong on each individual tutorial page, esp. since each may have different prereqs.

@sarah-gibson that's a fair point--the URDF importer never technically requires ROS, and unity 2020.2+ is only required for anything using articulation bodies, which isn't always going to be the case for the TCP endpoint. i can take it out!

+1. Then I guess this should move to the top of pick-and-play tutorial part 2?

This part assumes you have access to a functional ROS workspace. If you do not yet have a working ROS setup, refer to the Resources section below to get started.
If you're new to ROS, check out the Start Guide on the ROS Wiki to get started.

Note: this tutorial was made using ROS Melodic.
@hyounesy first of all, didn't realize I said "to get started" twice in a row, but aside from that, this is what it currently says at the top of Part 2 and in the Resources section--do you think it needs to be more specific than this?
