Alternative system setups
It is possible to run GEAR inside of a virtual machine. You may need to turn off 3D/hardware acceleration.
It may be possible possible to run GEAR on a different operating system/ROS distribution, but it is not recommended or supported. During the Finals, teams' software will be run on machines with Ubuntu Bionic and ROS Melodic. It is the only officially supported platform.
