 # Oh-My-LOAM
 
-Oh-My-LOAM is a ROS-free implementation of LOAM (J. Zhang and S. Singh. LOAM: Lidar Odometry and Mapping in Real-time). This implementation is modified from [A-LOAM](https://github.com/HKUST-Aerial-Robotics/A-LOAM). 
+Oh-My-LOAM is a ROS-free implementation of LOAM (J. Zhang and S. Singh. LOAM: Lidar Odometry and Mapping in Real-time). 
+This implementation is modified from [A-LOAM](https://github.com/HKUST-Aerial-Robotics/A-LOAM). 
 
 Comparing with A-LOAM, this implementation has following features:
 
 - it's ROS-free
 - it's more readable and easier to understand/modify

+
+# How to run
+## BUILD
+
+Install dependences (lsted below).\
+Clone this repository\
+Compile: 
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake ..
+make -j6
+```
+
+## Run with ROS bag as input
+Although **Oh-My-LOAM** is ROS-free, running it with ROS bag as input is the simplest way.
+We'll take *nsh_indoor_outdoor.bag* as example. 
+You can download this bag from [google drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s05tBQOLNEDDurlg48KiUWxCp-YqYyGH/view) or [baidupan](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1TbfMQ3Rvmmn1hCjFhXSPcQ) (提取码:9nf7).
+
+Launch: 
+```
+./devel/lib/oh_my_loam/main_rosbag ../configs/config_nsh_indoor_outdoor.yaml
+```
+Play bag:
+```
+ros play nsh_indoor_outdoor.bag
+```
+
+## Run without ROS support
+You can write by yourself.
