Make sure that you have installed "catkin_pkg", it is up to date and on the PYTHONPATH.

I have solved the problem by

1- uninstall ROS

2- i uninstalled anconda3

3- I typed sudo nano .bashrc to clear anaconda as my main python so i cleared every path related to ROS and anconda3

4- i installed ROS again

when i do catkin_make again i works

oh, sorry for coming too late to help. so, you didn't have to uninstall ROS nor anaconda, just remove anaconda from the path. Enjoy ROS now with bit clearer situation.

How do I clear the path or change my main python.

I believe the problem is that you are missing catkin_pkg for python. And since you are using anaconda, make sure to install it for anaconda python, and not your system python. (from here I would say it is conda install... )

(when installing as a system package, it would be apt-get install ros-kinetic-catkin, or with pip, pip install catkin_pkg, as advised here)

when i do sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg the package was already exits

yes, it might be so, because with apt-get you are installing for your system python. either install for anaconda python, or - my suggestion if you are just beginning and don't care much about which python to use - use you system python to work with ros.

What worked for me:

create a conda environment, activate it and pip install catkin_pkg. You probably need to install other required Python packages like nose. Then remove the build folder, as the Python PATH seems to be cached there rm -rf ./build. catkin_make should work then

catkin_create_pkg <package_name> [depend1] [depend2] [depend3] - Just change the name of the package. There are some keywords that should not be used since it confuses the compiler. I first use <data_pkg> and I had an error after compiling(catkin_make). I changed it to <senor_data> and it worked. I hope it helps.
