Arkapravo, I'm making progress. I went to the Synaptic Package Manager and did a search for "ros". I installed over 140 packages in the list, and when I ran rosversion ros it returned 1.8.7. Thanks.

Ok, did it. Came back: Cannot locate [ros]

Thanks for the info, but I'm still having trouble.

I created a folder ROS_Workspace in the Home folder.

I then opened the editor with gedit. I created a file named setup.sh in ROS_Workspace.

I pasted
#!/bin/sh source /opt/ros/electric/setup.bash export ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/electric/ros export PATH=$ROS_ROOT/bin:$PATH export PYTHONPATH=$ROS_ROOT/core/roslib/src:$PYTHONPATH export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ROS_Workspace:/opt/ros/electric/stacks:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH into the editor and saved into setup.sh.

I went to the terminal and typed . setup.sh

this yielded bash: /opt/ros/electric/setup.bash: No such file or directory.

I then typed source setup.sh into the terminal and got the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

I am new to Linux, Ubuntu, and ROS. From the installation page:

I ran this in the terminal, and there were no problems: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu lucid main" > /etc/apt /sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

And no problems with this: sudo apt-get update

I ran this a couple of times in the terminal: sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full and the terminal gave this: Reading package list... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ros-fuerte-desktop-full is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.

Now what? Remember, I am clueless about the whole thing. I am running Ubuntu 12.04.
