package installation
Hi there,
I am using ROS noetic on a ubuntu 20.04.1.
I am new to ROS and I am so confused about the package installation. For example, if I want to install the robot localization package, Do I just git clone it using the following command into my workspace?
$git clone -b noetic-devel https://github.com/cra-ros-pkg/robot_localization.git
I notice that package can be install through apt, but how can I know that apt command for the package I want?
sudo apt-get install ros-neotic-robot-localization
Usually, I do
sudo apt-get install ros-neotic-robot
and then search the available packages usingtab
.See #q320046 for a related Q&A.
Summarising: do not build from source, unless there is an absolute need.
