- Install ROS Hydro (Desktop Install Recommended)
- Install Gazebo 2.0
Go to your ROS working directory. e.g.
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
Use the wstool to install the repository [http://wiki.ros.org/wstool] (http://wiki.ros.org/wstool)
wstool init .
wstool merge https://github.com/prithvisekhar/mrs-ros-pkg.git/mrs.rosinstall
wstool update
Install any missing dependencies using rosdep:
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro
Now compile your ROS workspace. e.g.
cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make
Be sure to always source the appropriate ROS setup file, which for Hydro is done like so:
source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
You might want to add that line to your ~/.bashrc linking your workspace
Add the gazebo model and resource path to .bashrc
#Export the Models
export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=~/catkin_ws/src/mrs-ros-pkg/mrs_gazebo/worlds:$GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=~/catkin_ws/src/mrs-ros-pkg/mrs_gazebo/models:$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH
Note: gazebo 2.0 - /usr/include and ROS - /opt/ros present respectively
Try any of the .launch files in the mrs_gazebo package: (e.g. *.launch)
roslaunch mrs_gazebo *.launch
