Can ros 2 foxy be installed on ubuntu mate

edit

Ubuntu Mate (I assume 20.04 version) is just a different desktop environment. It uses the same backbone as regular Ubuntu, including the package manager. You should be fine. Other option is building ROS2 Foxy from source.

I can concur with the answer as I recently successfully installed ROS2 Foxy2 from Debian packages (ros-foxy-ros-base) on Ubuntu-Mate - Raspberry Pi4/4G w/32GB sd, I increased the swap to 4GB. In addition installed the required dependencies and compiled ROS2 source code for the Luxonis OAk-D-Lite camera “depthai-ros” packages that include rgb and depth/pointcloud processing and display. Had to add the image_view and rviz gui packages to visualize the camera image locally. The work required carefully attention to the details and some bug workarounds, but completed successfully.
