Revision history [back]

You should install Ubuntu first, following Ubuntu's instructions, and once you have a working Ubuntu VM, you can the follow the ROS installation instructions to install ROS in your Ubuntu VM.

It should be noted that the name "Robot Operating System" is a bit misleading, because ROS is not a traditional operating system; it's actually a collection of libraries and communication middleware that can be used on top of an existing operating system.
