Follow the official installation instructions for the platform. If instructions have not been published for the platform, use the instructions for Rolling Ridley.

For source build platforms, this includes the installation of dependencies and building the packages.

I would like to work on this

I tried the whole installation procedure, everything works and seems good. One thing I would like to add is that It would help beginners if there was line suggesting that they can add source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash in their user shell config.

I know that this is common practice, but I'm personally not a huge fan of this advice; it can make working with multiple ROS installations tricky. So I'm inclined not to do that in the documentation for now.

Regardless, thanks for testing!

When we install from the fat binary the archive is not extracted to /opt/ros/jazzy is it ? :thinking:

Yeah it isn't my mistake, the path is different. Basically I was just giving suggestion.

  • In the Jazzy's Testing with pre release binary section, the download link at line no.76 takes us to the binary releases of rolling. I installed the binary by the tar provided at the ros2 github releases page. So that link should be mentioned there.

We've fixed this now, so it should point to the jazzy binaries.
