Hi, I'm a new-comer in the ROS development, and for now, every time I wanted to install a new package from git, I just cloned it in my ~/catkin_ws/src/ folder and made a catkin_make to rebuild ROS. But when I do it with the ROStful package ( https://github.com/asmodehn/rostful ) it doesn't seem to work. I would like to know how to install and run this package, if anyone already used it ? Because I did not find any commentaries about it on the Internet.

If you tell us what "doesn't seem to work", I think we'll be in a much better position to help you.

When I do this in the cloned repo:

pip install catkin-pkg rostful

catkin-pkg installs well, but then I get this error:

Downloading/unpacking rostful
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement rostful
Cleaning up...

rostful is not distributed via pip / pypi afaict. The readme is a bit unclear, but I believe you should first git clone .. the repository and then run the pip install rostful command from the cloned directory.

I did:

pip install .

And it worked but I got this error:

Downloading/unpacking pyros (from rostful==0.0.7)
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyros (from rostful==0.0.7)

What have you found yourself? A quick google for "python pyros" leads me to asmodehn/pyros. I suggest taking this up with the author of these packages. In this case asmodehn/rostful/issues.

What is this a duplicate of?

It's because I can not edit this one, probably because I created it before creating my account, and I did not know it was created at that time so I created a second one and I can only edit the second one that I created : http://answers.ros.org/question/23797...

As this one already has some history, please re-open it. Editing it will most likely be fixed some time soon. Opening new, duplicate questions does not make sense.
