ROS Indigo installation instructions
1.Setup your sources.list
- Setup your computer to accept software from packages.ros.org. ROS Indigo ONLY supports Saucy (13.10) and Trusty (14.04) for debian packages.
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
2.Set up your keys
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116
3.Installation
- First, make sure your Debian package index is up-to-date:
sudo apt-get update
- Desktop-Full Install: (Recommended) : ROS, rqt, rviz, robot-generic libraries, 2D/3D simulators, navigation and 2D/3D perception
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full
- To find available packages, use:
apt-cache search ros-indigo
4.Initialize rosdep
- Before you can use ROS, you will need to initialize rosdep. rosdep enables you to easily install system dependencies for source you want to compile and is required to run some core components in ROS.
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
5.Environment setup
- It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:
echo "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
6.Getting rosinstall
- To install this tool on Ubuntu, run:
sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall
7.Build farm status
- The packages that you installed were built by ROS build farm. You can check the status of individual packages here.
