ROS Environment
ROS uses environment variables to find your libraries and by default the TurtleBot Tutorials use ROS Diamondback.
The quickest way to setup your environment is to type.
source /opt/ros/diamondback/setup.bash
This however will only work in your current terminal so instead you can do the following to make it setup every new terminal to use ROS diamondback.
echo source /opt/ros/diamondback/setup.bash >> ~/.bashrc
For more information on the general use of environment variables please see the general Environment Variables documentation.
If you have not already reviewed them, the core ROS Tutorials start by covering the use of environment variables and are highly recommended.
