Hey all,

I'm a bleeding raw beginner with ROS so please tread gently. I am trying to install the package ros-hydro-rviz using this command sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-rviz but am getting the message that it cannot be located.

My OS is Ubuntu Xenial.

You cannot install Hydro packages on a ROS Kinetic install.

Try ros-kinetic-rviz.

But depending on how you installed ROS that package will have already been installed for you (as part of the ros-kinetic-desktop or ros-kinetic-desktop-full).

See REP 3 - Target Platforms and REP 142 - ROS Indigo and Newer Metapackages for reference.

Thanks, it looks like it is already installed.

Onto resolving the next problem: Cannot connect to ROS Master....

hi , if you use hydro distribution, open a new terminal and type , apt-cache search ros-hydro. It will show up the list with available packages, search for whatever you wish for and then type sudo apt-get install <name of="" the="" package="">. If you use kinetic distribution just replace hydro with kinetic
