launch only remotely installed package on remote machine

edit

Hello,

I have the following setup:

• a computer where the roscore runs
• a remote computer, where a certain node named zed_ros_wrapper ( the node to read out images of the ZED stereo camera) should run

I would like to launch the whole system with a launch file on the computer where the roscore runs.

When I try to launch the zed_ros_wrapper node remotely, i get the following error:

Something to mention is maybe that the zed_wrapper_node is installed on the remote machine, but not on the machine running ... (more)
