I am installing on Ubuntu trying to get through the steps and have tried to install on 2 different machines. When I try to install the certs using wget ( h t t p) //packages.ros.org/ros.key -o | sudo apt-key add - I get

no valid OpenPGP data found

When I try to install ros with sudo apt-get-install-ros-base i get:

E: Unable to locate ros-hydro-ros-base

I think everything else is configured. Anyone point me in the right direction here.

It sounds like you're having trouble adding the key for the ROS repositories. You may want to try downloading and adding the key in separate steps:

wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key
sudo apt-key add ros.key

Then you should be able to install ROS by running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-ros-base
