Set up the environment to help colcon discover where RTI Connext is installed.
This can be done by manually setting the environment variable ``NDDSHOME`` to the location of the RTI Connext installation, or by using a script that comes with the RTI Connext installation:

.. code-block:: console

$ source ${RTI_CONNEXT_INSTALL_LOCATION}/resource/scripts/rtisetenv_x64Linux4gcc7.3.0.bash

If you can't find the location of the RTI Connext installation, run this to find all Connext installations in your system:

I think we should probably remove RTI_CONNEXT_INSTALL_LOCATION above? this is never explained and just popped up right here. that is the original issue here?
maybe we can replace it with full path to the file and then we can keep the following find command in any case the specific version cannot be found? what do you think?
