Before following the instructions on this page, please complete section 'Install ROS core system' described here.

The ROS community has spent a lot of time setting up useful tutorials to get new users started with the software. These tutorials are a great and entertaining way of getting to know ROS. Most of them can be found on http://www.ros.org.

We also recommend new users to follow at least the basic tutorials. Afterwards, one can look at the more specific tutorials on a need or interest basis. And, as always, practicing in an own project improves learning. Have fun! :)

The built-in search of ros.org helps you finding packages released in ROS. You can find it at the top right of the website.

Let's say we are looking for the tutorials of our favorite simulator gazebo. Use the search to navigate to the gazebo package documentation page (gazebo, for those who want to cheat). On this page you will find a blue box named 'Package Links'. These links
