Respected members whenever i build a package, every time i need to run source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash command. is there anyway to solve it ? while installing ROS i used this command source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash because in case of my friend he doesn't need to run everytime. he just did it in the beginning of ROS installation. Please help. Thanks in advance

Add following environment variables to your .bashrc file

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/user/catkin_ws:/opt/ros/kinetic/share:/opt/ros/kinetic/stacks

export ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/user/catkin_ws

Additionally we have an alias alias S='source ${HOME}/.bashrc' to quickly source after building new packages, very useful

Add it to your .basrhc file in home directory with this command:

echo "source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc"

Then source your .bashrc file with source ~/.bashrc or restart terminal.
