Good morning,

I got a problem installing image_viewer. I need it for using a simulated realsense camera on gazebo, especially the node image_view.

But when I install it using sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-image-view I can't find the node:

mobiltech@mobiltech:~$ rosrun image_view <tab> <tab>
disparity_view       image_saver          video_recorder
extract_images       ImageView.cfg        
extract_images_sync  stereo_view

Therefore on the github (kinetic devel) of the package there is this node: https://github.com/ros-perception/ima...

Only on the melodic devel the node has been removed: https://github.com/ros-perception/ima...

So I would like to know if there is a difference on aptitude (apt) package? and if yes, how should I run the image viewer node then (using launch file)?
