ros-indigo package not found for Ubuntu 14.04.1

I have been following this tutorial for the installation of ROS on Ubuntu 14.04.1 running on VirtualBox on Windows 10.

However, I have hit a blockade where it says there is no package under the name of ros-indigo-desktop-full or ros-indigo-desktop available in the Ubuntu Package manager.

I would be grateful for any help in this regard.

Thank You

Solution

You probably forgot to set up the sources list and the keys necessary.

Set up your sources list

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

Set up your keys

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116

Update the index of packages
```
sudo apt-get update
```

Install ROS

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

If you use those commands, there shouldn't be any problems.
