ROS Groovy installation instructions

These instructions will install our current release, ROS Groovy Galapagos. To install our previous release, ROS Fuerte, please see the Fuerte installation instructions.

Below are instructions for installing ROS on various operating systems. You may also wish to look at robot-specific installation options instead.

Alternatively, you can use a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and ROS Groovy Galapagos pre-installed. It is packaged in an .ova file of approx. 3.3GB that you can run on VirtualBox or other virtualization engines.
