I am currently following the first tutorial of clearpath to learn ROS. The tutorial is already a bit outdated and uses Ros Kinetic. However, I installed Ros Noetic on my computer. In section 'Drive a husky' (http://www.clearpathrobotics.com/asse...), they asked to get some packages:

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-husky-desktop

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-husky-simulator

However I receive the following error when executing these:

E: Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-husky-desktop

What can I do, to solve this error?

Currently there is no ROS Noetic package for Husky, however, you can clone noetic-devel and build from source. There are few dependencies required:

You Shall change the ROS dristro from kinetic to noetic in the command. For example: sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-husky-desktop , sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-husky-simulator, etc.

Have a try this way.

Edit: I strongly recommend you to check the ROS Tutorials. They have a good view about the need to point to the specific distro you are using. You will need to be aware of it for lots of things, as you can see in the second suggested command in the first tutorial page.

Hope it works as expected. I have been using Husky with ROS melodic and it is quite OK, but not used with noetic yet.

Edit 2: You should retag your question. You say you are using ROS noetic, but then put the kinetic (Ubunt 16) tag.

It seems to be working now, I just installed ROS noetic, and the base command using noetic instead other distros seems to be fine up to now. I will share later if find some specific issue.
