== Installing catkin_pkg ==

{{{
sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg
}}}

The Debian package only contains the command line scripts and depends on another package named `python-catkin-pkg-modules` which contains the Python modules required for the scripts.
This allows to install `python-catkin-pkg-modules` and `python3-catkin-pkg-modules` at the same time.

=== On non ubuntu platforms ===
Use [[ROS/Installation/EasyInstallConfig|pip]]:

{{{
sudo pip install -U catkin_pkg
}}}

  In case you experience error with the command above, you might want to run it without `-U` option. See [[http://answers.ros.org/question/65754/error-errno-89-function-not-implemented-while-source-installing-catkin_pkg/|this thread]].
