Install

 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-joy-teleop

Run

In the first terminal.

 rosparam set joy_node/dev "/dev/input/js0"
 rosrun joy joy_node

In the second terminal.

 rosrun joy_teleop joy_teleop.py
     [FATAL] [WallTime: 1450196955.332980] no configuration was found, taking node down

This should be fixable using the above reference links. Moving on to the twist package because it may be a better option based on those links.
