How do I install a package I find on rosindex.github.io?

One of my packages is missing a python module called controller_manager_msgs

The package containing the source appears to be found here:
http://rosindex.github.io/p/controller_manager_msgs/

How do I install such a package to my ROS Kinetic distribution?

Solution

controller_manager_msgs is part of the ros_control package, you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install ros-kenetic-ros-control ros-kenetic-ros-controllers

Alternatively, you can download the package into your catkin workspace (e.g., catkin_ws) and build it yourself:

git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-controls/ros_control.git ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
