Use conda env insteade of ubuntu system python3.6

[RangeOfGlitching]

hello,
After installing ROS noetic by ROS doc , I am now able to run CPP and Python programs with ROS. However, some packages do not support Python3.6, so I am wondering if I can use this project to solve my problem.

Hi @RangeOfGlitching,

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. The latest version of the RoboStack builds are based on Python 3.9 - so if you install RoboStack as per our README, you will be able to use ROS with Python 3.9.

We have some really old builds that are based on Python 3.6 but I would not recommend them.

Hi @Tobias-Fischer, thanks for your reply. And I'm sorry with my English level(LOL).
When I installed ROS, it will take Ubuntu build-in python as a default interpreter. However I want to use conda to manage the ENV.

1. Is there any way use conda virture env work with ROS?
2. If I already install ROS, should I uninstall it before conda install ros-noetic?

Hi,

1. Yes, this is the goal of RoboStack.
2. There is no need to uninstall, however make sure not to source the system's ROS installation in your bashrc file.

Does anything need to be taken into account when using CPP as well?
Thanks

See the readme, you need to install the compilers package and a few others.
