You have not installed ros_vrpn_client. It is pretty old and hasn't been released to the Debs. You will need to compile from source. I believe this is the most update to date fork. You could also try to use mocap_optitrack if working with a Optitrack setup.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have installed ros_vrpn_client and compiled the source using install_vrpn.sh. I have tried using mocap_optitrack package but still i am gettng Package mocap_optitrack_master not found.

Could you please explain me in brief, actual I am very new to this development.

The package name should me mocap_optitrack and you should use the launch file to load the parameters.
