How to install specific ROS package in Windows 10
I installed ROS on Windows 10 using the tutorials here and here.
The installation completed successfully and I can run roscore and see the roscore topics via "rostopic list"
Now, I need to install a specific package: ros-melodic-octomap On another machine with Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) I was able to install this package with
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-octomap
But with Windows 10, when I try to install this package I'm getting an error message (see below)
choco upgrade ros-melodic-octomap -y --execution-timeout=0
Chocolatey v0.10.15

How can I install specific ROS package in Windows 10?

I'm sure @Sean Yen will respond here with a more complete answer, but the error message essentially tells you that
octomap
hasn't been released for ROSonWindows through Chocolately.can't be found for some reason.Which seems strange, as roswin.azurewebsites.net/packages/octomap does seem to suggest it's been released/ported.
You may try choco upgrade octomap
