Hi, LQ members

Has anybody successfully installed ROS Hydro with Ubuntu 13.10? If so, could you please give step by step instructions.

Thank you very much.

Add the repo to your apt repositories.

Code:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu saucy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Then set up your keys:

Code:

$ wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Update your caches

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update

And install your packages

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-desktop-full

Other than the distro name, the instructions are here.

Hi dimonic,

Thanks a lot for your brilliantly clear and concise instructions.
Just what I was looking for and worked a treat!

I tried this process but got an error (Unable to locate package ros-hydro-desktop-full).

What now?
