According to REP-3, Indigo is not being build for 15.04:
Indigo Igloo (May 2014)
- Ubuntu Saucy (13.10)
- Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS)
(from here).
Can I install Indigo alongside of jade and run both as needed?
That would be possible, but not on Ubuntu 15.04, only one 14.04 (and Gazebo could be a problem).
On 15.04 you might be able to build everything from source, but that can be involved.
PS: Indigo is 'older' than Jade.
thanks for your answer to me
I know Indigo is 'older' than Jade. but i think distr jade of ROS not good for me because i'm elementary in ROS and don't have information about which one of distr is good with my research about this because some package not supported with jade.
As per my knowledge, installing two versions of ROS on a single machine causes problem. What most of the people do is, they have two Virtual Machines for example in my case, I have two operating system in my Virtual Machines. One is Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS-Indigo and the other one is Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS-Kinetic. That's the best and avoid any possible conflict.
I'm sorry you've had that experience, but it's perfectly possible to have multiple ROS versions on a single Linux installation. In fact, on Ubuntu Precise, I've had 3 versions of ROS: fuerte, groovy and hydro. Only in special cases (Gazebo pkgs) do Indigo and Jade collide.

I think you mean Kinetic. From older to newer: Indigo --> Jade --> Kinetic
thanks for your answer to me but I really want to use best distr of ROS
indeed now I installed jade and my friends say to me I should install indigo Actually I am totally confused if you cam help me
If possible, I would go with Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) + ROS Indigo. If not, Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) + ROS Kinetic. I would avoid 15.04 + Jade as they are not long-term supported (LTS) distributions.
thanks a lot for your answer to me
