Fuerte documentation
As of ROS Fuerte, rosdep is now a standalone tool that you can download and use separately:
Contents
Installing rosdep 2
sudo easy_install -U rosdep rospkg
or using pip
sudo pip install -U rosdep
Installing system dependencies
You can use rosdep and rosmake to build any package in the ROS repository. Say that you want to build a package called AMAZING_PACKAGE, that you hadn't built on your machine before.
rosdep install AMAZING_PACKAGE
