Hello,

I’m trying to set up Isaac ROS on a Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit following the official Getting Started guide for release-3.3:

https://nvidia-isaac-ros.github.io/v/release-3.3/getting_started/index.html

I configured the Isaac ROS APT repository using the instructions under “Configure Isaac ROS Apt Repository” (US CDN):

k=“/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-isaac-ros.gpg”
curl -fsSL https://isaac.download.nvidia.com/isaac-ros/repos.key | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee -a $k > /dev/null
f=“/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-isaac-ros.list” && sudo touch $f
s=“deb [signed-by=$k] https://isaac.download.nvidia.com/isaac-ros/release-3 jammy release-3.3”
grep -qxF “$s” $f || echo “$s” | sudo tee -a $f

sudo apt-get update

apt-get update produces the following warning

Inspecting the repository metadata

curl -s https://isaac.download.nvidia.com/isaac-ros/release-3/dists/jammy/InRelease | grep ^Components

shows

Components: legacy-release-3.0 legacy-release-3.1 release-3.0

It looks like release-3.3 is not listed in the metadata.

Is the current repository intentionally only exposing these releases? Any clarification on this and advice on whether I should fall back to an older release would be appreciated.

Hello @jyoon1,

Welcome to the Isaac ROS forum and thanks for your post!

Isaac ROS 3.3 is not officially released yet, and the release-3.3 tag in the public documentation was added by mistake. Sorry for the confusion. The APT repository is therefore only serving the earlier releases at this time. Please use the Isaac ROS 3.2 instructions and packages for now, until we publish an official update for 3.3.
