Revision history [back]

Hi,

I also had this issue. The problem was that I forgot to source my ros environment. Execute the following command in your terminal:

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash

Try to use catkin as if where already installed. E.g: catkin_make in your workspace.

If works, remember to add this line to your bash echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
