**Note** To install on Ubuntu-based distributions such as Mint, you may need to specifiy the Ubuntu base of your distro using ``--os ubuntu:base``.
For example in case of Mint 20.1, which is based on Ubuntu Focal, use ``--os ubuntu:focal``.

**Note** In case an upstream package is not (yet) available from the standard ROS repositories or if you experience any build errors in those packages, please try to fetch the latest release candidates from the `ROS testing repositories <http://wiki.ros.org/TestingRepository>`_ instead: ::

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