After following the instructions and building the spot_driver and spot_viz packages using catkin build, roslaunch spot_driver driver.launch errors out saying

Did you also build spot_description?

[ryan-roche]

Manually building the spot_driver, spot_viz, and spot_description packages using catkin build works for the build step, but another error appears when attempting to launch the driver.

This was done in a fresh docker container using the official osrf/ros:noetic-desktop-full image. I manually installed curl, wget and catkin in order to build the packages.
