ROS Melodic Morenia (EOL May, 2023)
ROS' Installation Guide for Ubuntu

Repository Initializations
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
- Allow Ubuntu repositories "restricted," "universe," and "multiverse."
- In the same window select "Other software" tab. Select Add, paste from below:
deb http://mirror.umd.edu/packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu bionic main

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5523BAEEB01FA116
