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` ## Reply by Darshit Desai · 2024-01-31 16:34:10 UTC (in reply to Zachary Lowell 0) @Zachary-Lowell-0 Thank you I will try that out, I also tried to install ros2 but while building voxl-mpa-to-ros-2 in the emulator it shows this error. I have made a separate issue here, https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3073/voxl2-mpatoros2-build?_=1706718841766 ## Reply by Darshit Desai · 2024-01-31 16:36:31 UTC (in reply to Zachary Lowell 0) @Zachary-Lowell-0 said in [voxlmpa2ros not working starling with sdk version 1\.1\.2](/post/14442): > 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](https://forum.modalai.com/assets/uploads/files/1706718989933-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 ## Reply by Darshit Desai · 2024-01-31 23:42:58 UTC (in reply to Darshit Desai) @Zachary-Lowell-0 anything more which I can do here? ## Reply by Zachary Lowell 0 · 2024-02-02 16:29:35 UTC It most likely requires more than just the plugins then - please run `sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-image-transport*` and then rerun. ## Reply by Darshit Desai · 2024-02-03 18:21:35 UTC (in reply to Zachary Lowell 0) @Zachary-Lowell-0 Ok got it this worked. Thanks
