Our apologies, there are currently no documented instructions for MoveIt 1 on OSX. Various users have reported mixed results building MoveIt on OSX.

MoveIt 2 has much better reported support for OSX.

Please contribute any documentation you have to this Github repo, thanks!

Other Setups

Source Build: Linux

See build instructions

Docker

See installation and guide.

Virtual Machines

We recommend developing with MoveIt on a native Ubuntu install. If you are unable to run Linux natively on your machine, the next best thing would be to set up a virtual machine using VMware. There are known issues with the ROS visualization tool RViz when used with VirtualBox - be sure to enable virtualization in your BIOS.

About Our Release Process

MoveIt 1 was released into Ubuntu debian packages via the ROS infrastructure. For more information see the ROS target platforms and MoveIt’s release process.
