I am trying to install the package prosilica_camera using rosinstall prosilica_camera and I get the error

rosinstall operating on /home/mike/ros_workspace/prosilica_driver from specifications in rosinstall files
(Over-)Writing /home/mike/ros_workspace/prosilica_driver/.rosinstall
(Over-)Writing setup.sh, setup.bash, and setup.zsh in /home/mike/ros_workspace/prosilica_driver
ERROR in rosinstall: No 'ros' stack detected in candidates [].
Please add the location of a ros distribution to this command.

How do I add the location of a ros distribution to that command?
Thanks

If you installed from packages it's usually in /opt/ros/<distro> and you literally add it.

Hi, I'm new in Ros, could you please explain how to do the operation described above?

ex. if your rosinstall file is named test.rosinstall, and your distribution of ros is installed at /opt/ros/kinetic

rosinstall /opt/ros/kinetic test.rosinstall

if you want your packages to be installed in local location under current folder ( ex. src)

rosinstall src /opt/ros/kinetic test.rosinstall

This happened to me once, and as I recall it was because the server at http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?...etc... was returning zero-length documents. So, a temporary server problem. The solution, if I remember rightly, was to find the contents of the document in google cache and overwrite the .rosinstall file manually. I guess this answer is only relevant when giving rosinstall a URL.
