After installing ROS how to configure further?

I have installed ROS using

sudo apt-get install ros-desktop-full

all tutorial on the net says configure enviroment setup using command

source /opt/ros/<dist>/setup.bash

I don't find any folder with the name ros in my /opt/

I can only see only following folders after executing the command

$ ls /opt/
atom  google  SQLiteStudio  zoom
Solution

  • You used the wrong apt command. You should use sudo apt install ros-<distro>-desktop-full. Assuming you're on Ubuntu20.04 and wanting to run ROS Noetic the command is sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full.
