Hi,
I’m trying to roslaunch my package but getting the error. I ran python script directly, It worked but I cant roslaunch it. I attached my screenshot below. I think while creating the package I used the package dependencies as std_msgs instead of geometry_msgs I don’t know I might be wrong, If I’m correct what should I do to add the dependencies to the packages?
Thanks

I am not sure, I am also in the same course, but trying to help.
Yes, I did the same.
Maybe I understood my Mistake over here in the make packages I used std_msg but in the code use other msg that might be the problem, now the doubt how can we change the dependencies after making the packages?
Hi @johnrebeiro , welcome to the community!
Well, ROS nodes aren’t usually launched as a python script. You say you can’t use roslaunch, but have you tried rosrun? It is lower level, and if it doens’t work, you can know that the issue is how it is installed in your workspace.
Hi @johnrebeiro ,
You can always delete your package folder and run “catkin_create_pkg” again. However, to answer your question, it is possible to add dependencies. Dependencies for a package are typically added in the package.xml file and the CMakeLists.txt file.
To add a dependency, open the package.xml file of your ROS package and add a <depend> tag inside the <package> tag, specifying the name of the package your package depends on.
To ensure that the build system recognizes the dependencies, you’ll need to add them in the CMakeLists.txt file using the find_package() and catkin_package() commands. Here, the comments in the file help you to understand the syntax.
bests,
