Welcome! Let's jump right in.

Robojackets IGVC currently supports the Ubuntu 14.04 and ROS-indigo environment. If you don't know what those are, don't worry! The project may build/run in other environments, but we can't guarantee it.

HAVE to use Ubuntu 15.04?

Ok, lets get down to business.

Step 1 - Get Terminator

Forget the default Ubuntu terminal, we need both horizont and vertical splits for productive activity. Start up the default terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install terminator

You should now be using this from now on, it will help later,

Step 2 - Set up your sources.list

Now for these next steps you don't need to understand what they do, only make sure they complete properly. So if you see any errors come up, tell one of us immediately. In your terminal type:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Step 3 - Set up your keys

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116

Step 4 - Update your Debian packages

sudo apt-get update
