Build it from source, but be prepared for possible incompatibilities between packages and their dependencies.

If "install" really means use, then perhaps using the provided Docker images would be more straightforward.

Edit:

I got an error while running the following command:

$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --os=ubuntu:eoan --rosdistro kinetic -y

yes, that's exactly what I meant with: "be prepared for [problems with] packages and their dependencies".

You're trying to use an unsupported OS, so one of the things you'll have to find work-arounds/solutions for is dependency resolution.

You might try and see whether specifying --os=ubuntu:xenial gets you further. You're obviously not running Xenial, but if the package names have remained the same between Xenial and Eoan, it might just work.

Note that this only installs dependencies. You will likely run into problems compiling the packages at a later stage.
