How to install urg_node to ros melodic
I've been trying to use the URG-04LK-UG01 with ROS melodic and can't seem how to figure out how to install the urgnode package in conversion for melodic. Any suggestions on what to do? Packages for urgnode and hokuyo_node don't get installed as they are past packages of ROS. Any help on using the Lidar with ROS melodic would help!

urg_nodeseems to have been released into Melodic (see urg_node and status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=urg).If
aptis not working for you, perhaps that would be something to solve.Asked by gvdhoorn on 2018-12-12 01:31:20 UTC
@gvdhoorn I've updated apt, and it tells me that it is unable to locate the package when trying to install urg_node. I'm not sure if I'm trying to install the right package name however there's been no luck.

What command are you using? Should be
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-urg-nodeAsked by allenh1 on 2018-12-13 16:04:19 UTC
@cxexcision: you're most likely using an incorrect command. The correct one would be what @allenh1 shows.
if you can update your question with the command and output of
aptwe can be sure.Asked by gvdhoorn on 2018-12-14 09:46:48 UTC
I think my issue is using the proper repository to install urg-node from, that is the command I've used trying to install it.

Then please tell us how you installed ROS, which platform this is, CPU arch, what installation instructions you followed, what the contents of
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.listis and other details.Asked by gvdhoorn on 2018-12-14 11:56:39 UTC
