Installation Instructions
These instructions cover installing Care-O-bot-related ROS C-Turtle software on a supported Ubuntu-based machine. For more an overview of Care-O-bot software and ROS, please see the Care-O-bot software overview.
Configure your Ubuntu repositories
Configure your Ubuntu repositories to allow "restricted," "universe," and "multiverse." You can follow the Ubuntu guide for instructions on doing this.
Setup your sources.list
Setup your sources.list file to accept Debian packages from the ROS server.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://code.ros.org/packages/ros/ubuntu jaunty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://code.ros.org/packages/ros/ubuntu karmic main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Set up your keys
wget http://code.ros.org/packages/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
Installation
Install all Care-O-bot stacks
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ros-cturtle-care-o-bot
Environment setup
It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:
echo "source /opt/ros/cturtle/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc . ~/.bashrc
If you have more than one ROS distribution installed, ~/.bashrc must only source the setup.bash for the version you are currently using.
If you just want to change the environment of your current shell, you can type:
source /opt/ros/cturtle/setup.bash
