How do you get catkin command to work??
From the other duplicate:
I'm watching ROS tutorials and keep getting stuck:
My system says:
"catkin: command not found"
Yet I've reloaded ROS a few times. Even created a test user account in ubuntu 16.04
After I do half of all the Youtube ROS examples in Part 1 for example, I run any catkin command from anywhere in ubuntu 16.04 and I get msgs about "catkin: command not found"
Sheeesh
The good news is I never give up. But WHY is catkin command not working?
Uninstalled and reloaded ROS Kinetic over and over again. I get almost through ROS tutorial #1.
Then, tutorial says enter "catkin " something or another.
Result:
catkin: command not found.
Note: Using ROS Kinetic on ubuntu 16.04.3 LTC.
So I heard you need to create a non-admin user.
Did that. Been there. Got the T shirt.
Even the new non-admin user can't get catkin commands to work.
Any help is appreciated as I never give up.
I solve this nasty, persistent problem or go on to more forums and ask it again.
And again..
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Is catkin real or another weather balloon?

The 'official' ROS tutorials are text only, so if you're watching videos that would have to be community contributed content. Always link to that in questions. It's ..
.. impossible to help you otherwise.
Exactly what command are you running? Where are you running it from (directory)? What tutorials?
