ROS Kinetic installation instructions

These instructions will install the ROS Kinetic Kame distribution, which is available for Ubuntu Wily (15.10) and Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS), among other platform options.

To install our previous release, ROS Jade Turtle, please see the Jade installation instructions.

The previous long-term support release, ROS Indigo Igloo, is available for Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) and many other platforms. Please refer to the Indigo installation instructions if you need to use this version due to robot or platform compatibility reasons.

The links below contain instructions for installing ROS Kinetic Kame on various operating systems. You may also wish to look at robot-specific installation options instead.
