The CPU on the Beaglebone Blue is armhf (not arm64), so you'll need to install from source. Run dpkg --print-architecture to see the architecture.

Source instructions for Kinetic are here. I ran through these a few weeks ago on a new Beaglebone Blue and they went fine.

Two recommendations: (1) append "-j2" to your build command to avoid running out of memory, and (2) run the install step to make life easier later on. Here's the build step that I used:

sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install-space /opt/ros/kinetic --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -j2
