ros:ros-create-package

Back to ROS Main Page

A new and empty ROS package can be created with catkin (http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/CreatingPackage) in the src folder of the workspace.

catkin_create_pkg <package_name> [depend1] [depend2] [depend3]

where depend1, depend2 and depend3 are the dependencies added at the creation of the package.

For example, to create a Python package called my_pkg in my ROS workspace ws :

cd /path/to/workspace/ws/src
catkin_create_pkg my_pkg std_msgs rospy 

For a C++ package add roscpp dependency.

To get access to this new package, we need to run again the setup.bash file

cd ..
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
