+Add the git repository to your catkin workspace:
+
+```
+cd <your-catkin-ws>/src
+git clone https://github.com/JenniferBuehler/general-message-pkgs.git
+```

+may also clone the repository elsewhere and then create a softlink to the main folders
+in your catkin source directory:    
+``ln -s <path to general-message-pkgs>`` 
+ 
+To compile, you can now use catkin\_make as usual:
+
+```
+cd ..
+catkin_make
