First you need to install ROS Hydro as it is described in http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installation/Ubuntu

The ros-hydro-ros-base installation will be sufficient.

To install the youbot API wrapper enter in a command shell

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-youbot-driver-ros-interface
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /opt/ros/hydro/lib/youbot_driver_ros_interface/youbot_driver_ros_interface 
sudo ldconfig /opt/ros/hydro/lib

Or if cloned ros interface repo:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep ~/Git/hydro-ws/devel/lib/youbot_driver_ros_interface/youbot_driver_ros_interface 
sudo ldconfig ~/Git/hydro-ws/devel/lib

These commands are important, rerun the last two if encountering problems afterwards.

Youbot oodl is now Youbot common. Same functionality is now obtained from launching youbot_driver_ros_interface youbot_driver.launch on the youbot.
