Hi @mmmarinho,
This PR adds CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the ~/opt setup instructions, alongside the existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LIBRARY_PATH/CPATH. Those three aren't consulted by CMake's find_package(), so a package installed to a non-default prefix like ~/opt was invisible to any downstream project's find_package( REQUIRED) without this.
For instance, when installing unitree_drivers
This command fails to find the library
Also switched the existing echo lines to single quotes, so $VAR is written literally to ~/.bashrc and re-expands correctly on every shell startup, instead of being baked in at the moment the instructions are run.
Kind regards,
Juancho
