Customising Packages on ROS Tutorial Issue
I am very new to ROS & Ubuntu and am working through the OS tutorials.
Specifically, I am currently creating and customising my own packages (see link below for tutorial I am currently referencing, I am currently on section 6 (customising my package).
http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cre...
I am using ROS Kinetic & Ubuntu16.04 LTS.
In section 6.1.1 I am trying to add a description tag, but I am confused how to.
The instructions are as follows:
6.1.1 description tag
First update the description tag:
<description>The beginner_tutorials package</description>
Note: Change the description to anything you like, but by convention the first sentence should be short while covering the scope of the package. If it is hard to describe the package in a single sentence then it might need to be broken up.
I have tried to enter a one word description of the package but get an error.
So my description is as follows:
jamescoady@jamescoady-Inspiron-5579:~$ <rostutorial>The beginner_tutorials package</rostutorial>
I then get the error:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
When I remove < & > from my line I still get an error.
jamescoady@jamescoady-Inspiron-5579:~$ rostutorialThe beginner_tutorials package /rostutorial
I then get the error:
rostutorial: command not found
What am I doing wrong? I know this is probably a very basic error on my behalf and I do apologise if it is an awfully stupid question!
