debian install woes [closed]

edit

Issues start with the first points on the installation file (comments will be listed with the appropriate numbers)

1.1 Configure your Ubuntu repositories Sorry - - I had used a hard-link to a 'Debian' instruction set so I wouldn't be configuring my ubuntu repositories rather my debian ones. 1.2 Setup your computer to accept software from packages.ros.org . ROS Kinetic ONLY supports Wily (Ubuntu 15.10), Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) and Jessie (Debian 8) for debian packages.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

commands given (please note that Debian 8 (Jessie) is explicitly mentioned as being supported) don't give any kind of result like what might be wanted. - - vis there is no directory in sources.list.d called ros-latest.list and the command hangs there and doesn't 'do' anything to a somewhat noob the phrase '$(lsb_release -sc) main' doesn't mean much - - - it took me a while to understand that I needed to have 'xenial' here (a space after .../ubuntu) followed by a space and then the word 'main'. 1.3Set up your key #apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 0xB01FA116

which somehow doesn't seem to be a useful result

did the apt-get update - - just in case something useful might be there and then

next the command aptitude install ros-kinetic-desktop-full was used with the result (aptitude deals with dependencies better therefore its use)

#aptitude install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
