Build/Dependency issue

Hi, congrats on this pretty nice project, I was looking for text-based log viewer and I found your project. My issue is to find the right dependencies to build it.

After install catkin and rosscpp, I am still getting an error "Could not find the required component 'roscpp'"

Installation commands on ubuntu distro:
apt install catkin
apt install ros-noetic-roscpp

The binary version should be available through apt with the standard ROS source list: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation/Ubuntu#Installation.2FUbuntu.2FSources.Setup_your_sources.list

sudo apt install ros-noetic-log-view

To build it from source, it's the same as any ROS1 package. I usually use catkin_tools because it is more friendly than straight catkin.

  1. Follow the Ubuntu ROS instructions linked above to install base ROS packages.
  2. Install and initialize rosdep: http://wiki.ros.org/rosdep
  3. Install catkin_tools:
$ python3 -m pip install catkin-tools
  1. Create a catkin workspace with the package
$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ catkin init
$ catkin config --extend /opt/ros/noetic
$ catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
$ git clone https://github.com/hatchbed/log_view.git src/log_view
  1. Install dependencies
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src
  1. Build
$ catkin build
  1. Run
$ source devel/setup.bash
$ rosrun log_view log_viewer

Thank you very much @malban ! I was not used to using ROS. I will install those packets point by you!

All the procedures pointed out above worked. Thanks for your support!
