### Using wstool
If cartographer_ros is to be used as part of a pre-existing workspace/existing project, using [wstool](http://wiki.ros.org/wstool) is recommended.
# Enter workspace root (i.e. the folder that has "src" as a subfolder)
# Merge the cartographer_ros rosinstall file
wstool merge https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googlecartographer/cartographer_ros/master/cartographer_ros.rosinstall
# Update workspace
wstool update
# Build workspace contents. It is recommended to use catkin tools:
catkin build
