        @Darshit-Desai - ros melodic is ros1, not ros2. If you are using ros melodic - you will need to install the lib image transport package. You can do that via the following:

        sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-image-transport-plugins

            @Zachary-Lowell-0 said in voxlmpa2ros not working starling with sdk version 1.1.2:

            sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-image-transport-plugins

            Also I get this error when I try to install image transport

            a2992fbb-df11-4233-a938-4f9ad7cda673-image.png

            This error comes up in all versions of sdk starting from sdk v1.0.0 to 1.1.2

                It most likely requires more than just the plugins then - please run sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-image-transport*

                and then rerun.
