Revision history [back]

I want to install ROS Kinetic in multiple machines (say 40-50). But I don't want to run sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full and so on for other packages for each machine [..]

This question has come up before -- and I'll try to find it -- but for now: assuming you're using Ubuntu or Debian (and since you show an apt install command I believe you are): ROS is distributed as .deb packages for that platform, so what you're asking for is a way to provision multiple machines with the same installation commands.

That would make this a non-ROS question: there are multiple ways to manage a large number of Ubuntu/Debian machines, and none of them are ROS-specific.

as it will take internet bandwidth.

a pointer here would be to look at setting up an apt-mirror and make all machines use that. An alternative could be to use a simple caching http(s) proxy and seed it by having one machine run through the regular install procedure. All others would then get files from the cache of the proxy.

Is there a way to "Clone" the ROS Kinetic from my machine to other machines (like copy/paste) provided the machine specifications (architecture, OS version, etc.) are the same in target machine and my machine.

You'll want to avoid doing this, as, if you're not using any kind of centralised management now, chances are there will be differences between those machines and simply cloning a set of packages could very well result in missing dependencies and/or version conflicts.

Let apt deal with those and properly install the packages and their dependencies.

I want to do the above exporting for my catkin packages as well for multiple machines.

With 50 machines it may make sense to take a look at setting up a ROS buildfarm or one of its alternatives. You may also be able to provision other machines with packages built on one machine and then distributed as .deb packages. There are multiple Q&As on this site about that.

Chef, ansible and similar tools are things you could look at.

Edit: and if you're not setting up those machines for development purposes (ie: they're embedded in a product) then perhaps using Docker (or another containerisation technology) may actually make more sense.
