Our software integrates the previous dependencies. Note that you will be prompted for your password upon using sudo a couple of times:

cd  # go home
mkdir -p repos; cd repos  # create $HOME/repos if it does not exist; then, enter it
git clone https://github.com/roboticslab-uc3m/openrave-yarp-plugins.git  # Download openrave-yarp-plugins software from the repository
cd openrave-yarp-plugins; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..  # Configure the openrave-yarp-plugins software
make -j$(nproc)  # Compile
sudo make install  # Install :-)
sudo ldconfig  # Just in case...
cd  # go home

For CMake find_package(ROBOTICSLAB_OPENRAVE_YARP_PLUGINS REQUIRED), you may also be interested in adding the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile:

export ROBOTICSLAB_OPENRAVE_YARP_PLUGINS_DIR=$HOME/repos/openrave-yarp-plugins/build  # Points to where OPENRAVE_YARP_PLUGINSConfig.cmake is generated upon running CMake

For additional options use ccmake instead of cmake.
