ros2-cli

ros2-cli is an open-source command-line tool set for ROS 2, packaged as a Snap for Linux. It provides the ROS 2 command-line interface tools included with a standard installation of any ROS 2 distribution. The package is intended for developers and other users who work with ROS 2 from a terminal.

The Snap provides the ros2 command and its associated verbs for interacting with ROS 2 through the command line. Installation can be performed with snap install ros2-cli --channel=jazzy/beta, and the installation can be checked with ros2-cli.ros2 --help. A ROS 2 command cheat sheet is available for examples of commands and their verbs. This is a beta release, so users may encounter bugs or other limitations.

The package does not support roslaunch, rospkg, rosrun, or custom ROS messages because those functions require access to the host filesystem. MirrorNest distributes ros2-cli by mirroring the official build directly to its own storage and scanning it for malware before publication. Its Linux packaging and Developer Tools classification make it suitable for users seeking ROS 2 command-line utilities through a software download catalog.
