I'm running Jade on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I used ' rosws init ~/jade_workspace /opt/ros/jade' to create the workspace and then used source ' ~/jade_workspace/setup.bash ' to set the environment var but running echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH does not list that as a source. Though roscd takes me right to it. See screenshot of shell to see

You should source ~/jade_workspace/devel/setup.bash, not ~/jade_workspace/setup.bash.

Ok It looks like there is not a devel directory in my jade_workspace, so I setup my workspace incorrectly. I Will start fresh and try again. Is it better to use the ROS workspace/package setup or the catkin?

I removed the full jade_workspace directory and tried to use the rsws init command again and it does not create the devel directory. I will just use the catkin method after I get off work

Try creating your workspace with catkin_init_workspace.

hi , It seems you have already installed ROS.

Here is my blog article about create a catkin workspace. https://goo.gl/uvC6cN

I guess you are now at the step 7 in this article.

By the way , are you using Nvidia TK1 platform?

Looks like I did not create the workspace properly, there is no devel directory. I will start fresh and try again. I am not using the TK1 platform, I do have an Nvidia GPU in my machine.
