I have done some research on how to make a button in rqt and I came across this option from jsk. I have downloaded the jsk package from github. Now that I have the plugin installed how do I actually get the push button example to run in rqt? Could someone walk me threw the steps I need to do to get the downloaded example to appear in an rqt window. Thank you very much to anyone who can help I am using ubunto 16.04 and ros kinetic. I have an existing perspective file I would like to implement this on.

Since you have installed the plugin it should be available in the plugins menu of rqt. Isn't it? – Fruchtzwerg Jun 20 '19 at 19:29

all I did was download it it is not showing up @Fruchtzwerg – Brian Kreidberg Jun 21 '19 at 13:09

ROS can't recognize the plu ins only by downloading them. You should think about installing the package like `apt-get install ros-kinetic-jsk-common` (use the correct distro!). Now the plugin should be available. – Fruchtzwerg Jun 21 '19 at 13:23

had to run that command with sudo but as far as I can tell nothing has changed I don't have any new plugins available in rqt @Fruchtzwerg – Brian Kreidberg Jun 21 '19 at 14:33

Which ROS distro are you using? Did you installed the correct package ? – Fruchtzwerg Jun 21 '19 at 14:38

I am using kinetic as stated before @Fruchtzwerg – Brian Kreidberg Jun 21 '19 at 14:45

it is saying that some of the files failed to download @Fruchtzwerg this might be the problem? – Brian Kreidberg Jun 21 '19 at 14:48

Sure, sounds like the installation failed? – Fruchtzwerg Jun 21 '19 at 15:06
