Now you will start setting up your local machine:

$ sudo update-locale LANG=C LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

After this, we will configure the source lists depending on the Ubuntu version that we have installed in BeagleBone Black. The number of Ubuntu versions compatible with BeagleBone Black is limited, and only active builds can be found for Ubuntu 16.40 Xenial armhf, the most popular version of Ubuntu ARM. Run the following to install the Ubuntu armhf repositories:

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