Did you install ROS following the instructions in http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installation/Ubuntu?

Comment by gustavo.velascoh on 2014-01-30:
The command should be `$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-ros-tutorials´

Answer 1

When replacing <distro> with the name of your distribution, the angle brackets typically delimit the thing to be replaced, and should be removed in the final command. Thus, you should be running:

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-ros-tutorials
