RoPod/Tutorials/Setup IDE

Using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) makes it easier to find your way in the ROS cpp code. All functions, variables, classes, etc. will be highlighted and can be be easily tracked.

From the suggestions in http://wiki.ros.org/IDEs, we recommend to use KDevelop. Install it first:

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

To set it up and open a ROS project, either a whole catkin workspace or a package, follow carefully the instructions here http://wiki.ros.org/IDEs#kDevelop.
