[ros-users] Testing rviz

[William Woodall]

Sorry, I missed step in my from source instructions:

$ mkdir ~/rviz_ws
$ cd ~/rviz_ws
$ rosinstall_generator rviz --rosdistro hydro --tar > rviz.rosinstall
$ wstool init ./src ./rviz.rosinstall
$ source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
$ catkin_make install
$ source ./install/setup.bash
$ rosrun rviz rviz

Sorry for the noise!
