Is robot_localization not available for ROS Noeic?

I git clone the "robot_localization" Package and tried to do a "catkin build", but it skips as follows.

[build] Warning: Skipping package `robot_localization` because it has an unsupported package build type: `ament_cmake`
[build] Note: Available build types:                                           
[build]  - `catkin`                                                            
[build]  - `cmake`

From my research, it seems that "ament_cmake" is a ROS2 specific build tool and cannot be used with Noetic. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Is there any way to use robot_localization with ROS Noetic?

Thank you.

Can robot_localization be used with Noetic?

Yes.

Below are the two ways to install robot_localization in ROS Noetic:

Install from Pre-built Binaries (Preferred): Please use the following command:
```
$ sudo apt install ros-noetic-robot-localization
```

Install from Source: To answer you completely, I tried this approach as well. Please see below:

$ cd ros_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/cra-ros-pkg/robot_localization.git --branch noetic-devel
$ cd ros_ws/
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
$ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
