Hi all!

This thread also exists here: http://answers.ros.org/question/249348/installing-turtlebot-for-kinetic/

I submitted my solution to it, but thought it might be appreciated here too, so here's a convenience copy:

I was really having trouble getting this to work, FINALLY found out how to get turtlebot to install cleanly on kinetic!

#TLDR;

Do this:

sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-generic
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted" > \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-source-repositories.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ros-kinetic-librealsense
sudo apt-get install -y ros-kinetic-librealsense-camera
sudo apt-get install -y ros-kinetic-turtlebot

Or see my full ROS setup script

Here's my route to the solution:

First hint came from doing a wildcard turtlebot install attempt

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-turtlebot*

This gave me a gem in that it told me why it couldn't install the -bringup package:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ros-kinetic-turtlebot-bringup : Depends: ros-kinetic-realsense-camera but it is not going to be installed

Dern you RealSense!

Going further down the rabbit hole, I tried

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-realsense-camera

Got this

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ros-kinetic-realsense-camera : Depends: ros-kinetic-librealsense but it is not going to be installed

Next, you guessed it, I tried

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-librealsense

Surprise, surprise...

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ros-kinetic-librealsense : Depends: linux-headers-generic but it is not going to be installed

Finally, one from the distro that will work!

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

BUT! It's not THAT easy... You also need to enable the source repositories, since installing ros-kinetic-librealsense incurs a compilation which requires your kernel sources, so from the ROS docs, we can see how to do this, or you can copy me

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted" > \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-source-repositories.list'
sudo apt-get update

Now, magic happens! (assuming you have typical compilers installed)

(Optional)

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++

Let's try this again

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-librealsense

It should build, you may see some warnings, but as long as it completes OK, you can continue back up out of the rabbit hole

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-realsense-camera
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-turtlebot

Yay! turtlebot on kinetic!

I managed to get mine working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I had a similar issue because I was using Anaconda :( I tried a bunch of solutions but the most recent one that worked was pip install defusedxml . I also did a bunch of wildcard installs sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-turtlebot* and on "ros-kinetic-kobuki". Hope it solves your problem

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-turtlebot-*

Should do the job for you.

I got everything up and running with these scripts: https://bitbucket.org/damienjadeduff/...

Hello sir,

So sorry I am just a beginner. So this question maybe stupid. After this particular installation setup, how do I move forward with using Turtlebot. I tried: roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch

However, I get the error [turtlebot_world.launch] is neither a launch file in package [turtlebot_gazebo] nor is [turtlebot_gazebo] a launch file name

Thank you so much
