                     ros-kinetic-geographic-msgs \
                     ros-kinetic-rosserial-arduino \
                     ros-kinetic-underwater-sensor-msgs

4. Build the package using catkin_make

cd ~/catkin_ws
# To maximize performance, build the workspace in Release mode
catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
