Hi!

I am following the ROS2 tutorials and got stuck on this page. Whenever I try to run the command:

colcon build --merge-install

I get the error:

    Starting >>> turtlesim
--- stderr: turtlesim
Traceback (most recent call last):

  1 package had stderr output: turtlesim

I have cmake installed, but it is not in the default directory, could this be the problem? I tried searching online but couldn't find any answers, if anyone could help me solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, it seems you are missing cmake python module. Please try to run "pip install cmake".
