Hi, I installed spacenav from the following website http://wiki.ros.org/spacenav_node , however, I am still facing the same issue where it's complaining about

Error: Could not open the space navigator device. Did you remember to run spacenavd (as root)?

I also tried the solution at http://wiki.ros.org/spacenav_node/Tro..., but getting the following error

sudo bash
root@abc-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-2i:/home/abc# rosrun spacenav spacenavd

Command 'rosrun' not found, but can be installed with:

apt install rosbash

root@abc-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-2i:/home/abc# sudo apt install rosbash
