industrial_core (and all the packages in that repository) were released into Melodic and with the sync out are now available to install with apt on supported OS.

wow! those are great news! thank you for the answer.
After doing some readings I have finally managed to get it going, working with the RViz and connecting to the RobotStudio environment.

@AlexCC, could you please guide that how did you install ROS-industrial into ROS melodic with Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. I am new to ROS? please help, thanks.

Hi ahmed ali! of course. I know how frustrating it was for me as a ROS Beginner, to have these things installed and correctly running. I managed to document all the steps I followed. Here is the document that will help you on this task.
my document on how to install ROS industrial into ROS Melodic

+100 for sharing your document, but as I wrote in my answer, sudo apt install ros-melodic-industrial-core should just work, as the package has been released. Building from source is not necessary.
See status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=industrial_core.
Same for ABB. Only abb_experimental needs to be built from source, as it is an experimental repository and does not get released.

Yes! I forgot to mention that, ahmed ali... However that is also included in the document. There is an "UPDATE" part which explains about this. Please read the whole document before installing something.

There is an "UPDATE" part which explains about this
you may want to move that update to the start of the document. It's "hidden" somewhere quite far down. Users which are used to copy-paste their way through instructions will have executed about 60% of the instructions before they get to that update.
