"""
This script is a utility to install dependencies mentioned in an extension.toml file of an extension.

The script takes in two arguments:

1. type: The type of dependencies to install. It can be one of the following: ['all', 'apt', 'rosdep'].
2. extensions_dir: The path to the directory beneath which we search for extensions.

The script will search for all extensions in the extensions_dir and then look for an extension.toml file in each
extension's config directory. If the extension.toml file exists, the script will look for the following keys in the
[isaac_lab_settings] section:

* **apt_deps**: A list of apt packages to install.
* **ros_ws**: The path to the ROS workspace in the extension. If the path is not absolute, the script assumes that
  the path is relative to the extension root and resolves it accordingly.

If the type is 'all', the script will install both apt and rosdep packages. If the type is 'apt', the script will only
install apt packages. If the type is 'rosdep', the script will only install rosdep packages.

For more information, please check the `documentation`_.
