Hi everyone

Thanks for your help and suggestion, I have gone through most of the stuff that you all have suggested to me. I personally found the appearance of the turtle in Tutorial-5 (Understanding ROS Nodes) as a confirmation that everything is rightly binded and working good !

I have struggled with the installation of various large software projects similar to ROS, but for ROS the installation was very smooth and the tutorials are very nicely written. 

Kind regards

Arkapravo
