I'm trying to install urdf utility package to check_urdf command for my .urdf files. And when I try to install the utility package using the following commands

sudo apt-get install liburdfom-tools

sudo apt-get install liburdfom-dev

I get the following result

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package liburdfom-tools/dev #depending on the command

Am I doing something wrong or does the urdf utility package not exist in noetic?

This package needs to be built from source. Refer to this tutorial:

http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Instal...

For example,

$ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/external_src

$ sudo apt-get install libboost-test-dev libtinyxml-dev

$ git clone https://github.com/ros/urdfdom.git

$ cd urdfdom

$ cmake .

$ sudo checkinstall make install

Hope this helps you

Hello! This helped, thank you! I am also trying to check my urdf using the package "urdfdom_py" but the terminal says this package cannot be found. I was wondering if you know anything about this package, if not I appreciate your reply!

PS command I am trying to run

This provides a JSON version of the robot, but crashes when the description has erros. Review the errors to fix the URDF file.

rosrun urdfdom_py display urdf robot_des.urdf
