Indigo Installation - Ubuntu 14.04 Permission errors
Hello,
To start I am new to both Ubuntu and ROS.
I am trying to follow the installation guides but am getting bogged down in permissions errors. I installed and removed ROS Indigo once already because I couldn't access the package files for whatever reason.
Now I received this error while running "rosdep update" (step 1.5 of indigo installation instructions)
daver@DSRUbuntu:~$ rosdep update reading in sources list data from /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d
ERROR: Rosdep experienced an error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/daver/.ros/rosdep/sources.cache' Please go to the rosdep page [1] and file a bug report with the stack trace below. [1] : <rosdep link="" was="" here="">
rosdep version: 0.10.27

I've tried changing the root folder permissions but it's not applying correctly... I received similar errors on my previous installation attempt (not at this step, but later) and I was able to re-route the temporary cache files but I don't think that applies here.
Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
