ROS Noetic, Ubuntu 20.04

I want to use Robot_localization package with RTABMAP to get odometry data - Sensor fusion (Visual Odom + IMU odom). I am trying to install the robot_localization package by cloning git repo in src folder and doing catkin_make in the ros_workspace, but I am getting this error. I also tried running rosdep install robot_localization but this also raises an error: Error in rosdep

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
robot_localization: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [launch_testing_ament_cmake]

Error in catkin_make:

I am trying to install the robot_localization package by cloning git repo in src folder [..]

could you clarify why? robot_localization has binary packages available (see here), so that should be the default way to install. Unless you really must build from source, I'd really suggest you avoid doing that.

Your answer lies in the question itself, I think.

The default branch for robot_localization is ros2 (which is what is used for ROS Rolling). If you just clone the repo into a ROS 1 workspace and try to build it, it's not going to build. You need to clone, then checkout the noetic-devel branch.

You can see a hint of this in the error you posted:

robot_localization: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [launch_testing_ament_cmake]

ament is a ROS 2 build tool.
