Error "No module named 'catkin_pkg'" while creating catkin_package
Hi,
I am creating catkin package and for that I have been following this page. I can run all the commands in that page correctly with out error except the following one
$ catkin_make -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.7m -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython3.7m.so
While I run the above command I get the error as follows
catkin_make -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.7m -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython3.7m.so

Make sure that you have installed "catkin_pkg", it is up to date and on the PYTHONPATH.

From the error I can understand that I am missing 'catkin_pkg'
. So I tried to follow the instructions given in this page by running the command pip install catkin_pkg
and I am prompted with successful installation with the following message,
