 | 1 | initial version |
If you are new to ROS you might not be familiar with its history. The version that you installed in your virtual machine is ROS Kinetic (The current recommended version).
In this distribution the build system is called "catkin", in older ROS versions (like Fuerte) the build system was called "rosbuild" and it is not used any more, but the documentation is still available.
If you pay attention, in certain sections of the tutorials, you can chose between "caktin" and "rosbuild" instructions. Make sure that you follow "catkin" instructions. From the command that you posted it seems that you are following the instructions for "rosbuild".
I hope this helps. Welcome to ROS
