Is catkin-tools needed? - Fix install_dependencies.sh for fresh ubuntu 20.04 installation #12

Closed LukasPoque closed 9 months ago

LukasPoque commented 9 months ago

I tried to run the install_dependencies.sh on a completely new Ubuntu 20.04 system. In the end, there was an error message indicating catkin-tools are missing E: Unable to locate package python3-catkin-tools

Looking at docs of it (https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html) it states that Ubuntu needs additional configuration. After executing the four commands, catkin tools are successfully installed.

Can someone reproduce the error? And if catkin-tools are needed for the project, should I create a PR with the changed install_dependencies.sh?

Hi, thank you for the feedback. That issue is now fixed. Catkin tools are used only for building ROS stuff.
