Hi,

I was trying to learn ros3djs web interfacing. In the tutorial ( http://wiki.ros.org/ros3djs/Tutorials... ), it was written to install the following packages: interactive_marker_tutorials, interactive_marker_proxy, rosbridge_server, tf2_web_republisher.

How do i install them ? (I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and ROS Indigo)

Thanks and regards !

For most released ros packages you can install them via apt-get.

The signature is in general:

sudo apt-get install ros-<your distro>-<meta package name with underscores (_) replaced by dashes (-) >

So for instance for your first package interactive_marker_tutorials the package wiki tells you that it is hosted inside the metapackage visualization_tutorials ( http://wiki.ros.org/visualization_tut... ) . visualization_tutorials is released so we can install it via apt-get. For your distro indigo the command would then be:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-visualization-tutorials

Note that you can install individual packages also using apt-get. No need to install the entire metapackage.
