Original setup guide: https://rebrand.ly/ros/install

NOTE: I recommend opening this guide up within the VirtualBox. Here's the short link for easy access: rebrand.ly/ros/quick-install

Fix sudo access

su
adduser <username> sudo
exit

NOTE: <username> = The username that you see when you login (e.g. ros2)

• For example, if your username was randomrobot3 you would type adduser randomrobot3 sudo

Restart system

shutdown -r 0

Set locale to UTF-8

sudo apt update && sudo apt install locales
sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Update system

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade -y

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/ros-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu $(. /etc/os-release && echo $UBUNTU_CODENAME) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2.list > /dev/null
