Ubuntu Install of ROS Indigo
We are building Debian packages for several Ubuntu platforms, listed below. These packages is more efficient than source-based builds and is our preferred installation method for Ubuntu.
If you need to install from source (notrecommended), please see Source (download-and-compile) Installation instr Uctions.
If You rely the these packages, please support OSRF.
These packages is built and hosted on infrastructure maintained and paid for by the Open Source Robotics Foundation, a 5 (c) (3) non-profit organization. If OSRF were to receive one penny for each downloaded package for just and months, we could cover our annual costs to MA Nage, update, and host all of our online services. Consider donating to OSRF today.

Installation
First, make sure your the Debian package index is up-to-date:
There is many different libraries and tools in ROS. We provided four default configurations to get started. You can also install ROS packages individually.
desktop-full Install: (Recommended) : ROS, RQT, Rviz, robot-generic libraries, 2d/3d simulators, navigation and 2 D/3d perception
Indigo uses Gazebo 2 which is the default version of Gazebo on Trusty and is recommended. If you need to upgrade to Gazebo 3 See these instructions about what to upgrade the simulator.
Desktop Install: ROS, RQT, Rviz, and robot-generic libraries
ros-base: (Bare Bones) ROS package, build, and communication libraries. No GUI Tools.
Individual Package: You can also install a specific ROS package (replace underscores with dashes of the package name):
sudo apt-get install Ros-indigo-package
e.g.
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-slam-gmapping
sudo apt-get install Ros-indigo-ros-base
or click here
sudo apt-get install Ros-indigo-desktop
or click here
sudo apt-get install Ros-indigo-desktop-full
or click here
To find available packages, use:
Apt-cache Search Ros-indigo
Initialize ROSDEP
Before can use ROS and you'll need to initialize ROSDEP. ROSDEP enables you-easily install system dependencies for source, want to compile and are required to run some core Components in ROS.
sudo rosdep init rosdep update
Environment Setup
It ' s convenient if the ROS environment variables is automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is Launched:
echo "Source/opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.BASHRC source ~/.BASHRC
If you had more than than one ROS distribution installed, ~/.BASHRC must only source the Setup.bash for the version of you AR e currently using.
If you just want to change the environment of your current shell, you can type:
Source/opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
Getting Rosinstall
Rosinstall is a frequently used command-line tool in ROS it is distributed separately. It enables easily download many source trees for ROS packages with one command.
To install the tool on Ubuntu, run:
sudo apt-get install Python-rosinstall
Build Farm Status
The packages-installed were built by ROS build farm. You can check the status of individual packages here.
Tutorials
Now, to test your installation, please proceed to the ROS tutorials.
