Today I'll show you how to set up your Linux PC (Ubuntu 15.10 Wily, Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and Jessie (Debian 8) for debian packages) for the ROS Kinetic Installation afterwards.
ROS is essential for publishing ROS topics from a running LiDAR sensor, among other things.
Setup your sources.list
Setup your computer to accept software from packages.ros.org

Set up your keys
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
