Trouble Installing ROS on Peppermint 10

I have installed ROS Melodic on my Peppermint OS. I follow this instruction, when i try rosdep command, i got this error.

ERROR: Rosdep experienced an error: Could not detect OS, tried ['windows', 'nixos', 'clearlinux', 'ubuntu', 'slackware', 'rhel', 'qnx', 'osx', 'tizen', 'opensuse', 'opensuse', 'opensuse', 'openembedded', 'neon', 'mx', 'mint', 'linaro', 'gentoo', 'funtoo', 'freebsd', 'fedora', 'elementary', 'elementary', 'debian', 'cygwin', 'centos', 'manjaro', 'arch', 'alpine']
Please go to the rosdep page [1] and file a bug report with the stack trace below.

Looks like the ROS is not supported on Peppermint. The python script /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospkg/os_detect.py tries to detect the current OS type. Since Peppermint OS is based on Ubuntu, you could try overriding the detected OS type by setting the ROS_OS_OVERRIDE env variable. A quick search shows that Peppermint 10 OS is based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 so you could try the following before running the command:

export ROS_OS_OVERRIDE=ubuntu:18.04:bionic
