If you are looking for an extensive list of commands that can be used from the terminal, this is the place to look at.

Using the Duckietown Shell

Modified 2019-09-23 by gzardini

The Duckietown Shell, or dts for short, is a pure Python, easily distributable (few dependencies) utility for Duckietown.

The idea is that most of the functionalities are implemented as Docker containers, and dts provides a nice interface for that, so that users should not type a very long docker run command line. These functionalities range from calibrating your Duckiebot and running demos to building the duckumentation and submitting and evaluating for AIDO. You will find the commands that you need along the way during the next steps.
