I am trying to pass images as messages in a simple ROS project. I'm a complete beginner in ROS and robotics. The tutorial I'm trying to follow is here:

http://wiki.ros.org/cv_bridge/Tutoria...

But I can't get past adding dependencies to the package and building it. Here are the commands I have used to create my project:

mkdir image_pkg_test
cd image_pkg_test/
mkdir -p catkin_ws/src
cd catkin_ws/
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
cd src
catkin_create_pkg image_msg_tests sensor_msgs opencv3 cv_bridge rospy roscpp std_msgs
cd ..
catkin_make

The catkin_make command fails with the following message:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/kinetic/share/cv_bridge/cmake/cv_bridgeConfig.cmake:172 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "sensor_msgs" with
  any of the following names:

    sensor_msgsConfig.cmake
    sensor_msgs-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "sensor_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "sensor_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "sensor_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

  image_msg_tests/CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

However, rospack find sensor_msgs shows:

/opt/ros/kinetic/share/sensor_msgs

So this package is at least partially installed. What am I doing wrong? How can I debug the issue more effectively?

No. But the first time I tried to post it, I was required to register and there was no indication that the question was
