[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'xacro' [closed]

edit

Hi everyone, I'm new to ROS and try to do the NAV2 tutorial for a university project. Everything worked until i tried to launch in the "SEtting up the URDF"-part.

I use Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS2 galactic. I also installed the used packages: sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-joint-state-publisher-gui sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-xacro

After building with colcon and calling the setup.bash in my project, I get the following error:

[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/valentin/.ros/log/2022-05-17-06-33-09-822486-valentin-7458

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
