hector_slam Install Question
Sorry for asking a simple question but I am new to using ROS and Linux and want to make sure that I install the package correctly to use. I am wanting to install hector_slam to use with a Tim 561 LiDAR, I already have ROS and sick_scan installed and working to be able to visualize the LiDAR data. After reading through the hector_slam documentation I found a line to use for installing the package shown bellow.
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-hector-slam
When using this to install the package do I need to be within a specific working directory like the catkin work space I have made for my project? Also I have Kinetic not indigo so I should replace that with the word kinetic to install the correct version right?
