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

2. Set up keys

   sudo apt install curl # if you haven't already installed curl
   
   curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.asc | sudo apt-key add -
   

3. Install ROS

   sudo apt update
   
   sudo apt install ros-noetic-ros-base
   

4. Setting up the environment

   echo "source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc
   

5. Set up dependancies

   sudo apt-get install python3-rosinstall python3-rosinstall-generator python3-wstool build-essential ros-noetic-roslint
   

6. Install and initialize rosdep

   sudo apt install python3-rosdep
   sudo rosdep init
   rosdep update

   catkin_init_workspace
   

3. Build the workspace

   cd ~/catkin_ws
   catkin_make
   

4. Add the workspace path to shell

   source ~/.bashrc
   

5. Clone the repository

     cd ~/catkin_ws/src
