Hello,
today installed my package manager some new packages for ROS.
As you can see there are new tutorials and myabe example files.
Let s take for istance the URDF tutorial in the picture:
Where are saved? How to call those tutorials?
In the description there was no entry.
Regards
Such packages you find them in /opt/ros/indigo/share
If you want to get the path for a specific package, say urdf_tutorials, you can type: roscd urdf_tutorial/
Any ROS package you install using a package manager (e.g., apt-get) will be installed in the default ROS installation path (which would normally be /opt/ros/<distro>/).
If you know the name of the package, just run:
$ rospack find <package_name>
The ROS tutorial Navigating The Filesystem is a great source of information on how to use rosbash commands such as rospack.
Running nodes from those tutorial packages is exactly the same as running nodes from any other package.
