ROS Fuerte Installation on Ubuntu 12.04

Repository configuration

First we need to add the repository <syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'</syntaxhighlight>

and setup the keys <syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -</syntaxhighlight>

Installation

We need to refresh the cache of your package manager <syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo apt-get update</syntaxhighlight>

In our case, we decide to install ros-fuerte-desktop-full that is recommended in the ROS web, but you can also install other as explained on the web

<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full</syntaxhighlight>

Enviroment Configuration

Now we need to configure the enviroment variables

<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>echo "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc </syntaxhighlight>

For refresh the enviroment variables of your terminal you can reset it or type

<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash> . ~/.bashrc </syntaxhighlight>

Turtlebot installation

The turtlebot installation is very simple, you only have to type in your terminal

<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash> sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-turtlebot* </syntaxhighlight>
