ROS Fuerte Installation on Ubuntu 12.04

Repository configuration

First we need to add the repository

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

and setup the keys

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

Installation

We need to refresh the cache of your package manager

sudo apt-get update

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

sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full

Now we need to configure the enviroment variables

echo "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

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

 . ~/.bashrc
