<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>
rosdep is a command-line tool for installing system dependencies.
For *end-users*, rosdep helps you install system dependencies for
software that you are building from source.
For *developers*, rosdep simplifies the problem of installing
system dependencies on different platforms. Instead of having to
figure out which debian package on Ubuntu Oneiric contains Boost,
you can just specify a dependency on 'boost'.
rosdep is supported on a variety of platforms/package managers:
<ul>
<li>Ubuntu (apt)</li>
<li>Debian (apt)</li>
<li>OS X (Homebrew)</li>
<li>Red Hat Enterprise Linux (rpm/experimental)</li>
<li>Arch (pacman/experimental)</li>
<li>Gentoo (equery/experimental)</li>
<li>Cygwin (experimental)</li>
</ul>
