Gazebo Stable Installation

From DGC Wiki

Back to Planning Simulation

This is the current recommended way to install and run Gazebo. --Henrik 21:56, 28 Oct 2004 (PDT)

Note: The current stable installation files in the installers directory are:

1. ode-0.5.tar.gz
2. gazebo-0.5.1.tar.gz
3. player-1.6.tar.gz
4. librtk-src-2.3.0.tar.gz

If you want terrain model support in Gazebo, you have to apt-get remove libode-dev and install ode by hand AFTER making configuration changes as described at this page.

• Go to http://gc.caltech.edu/installers and download Player, Gazebo and the libRTK library tarballs.
• Make sure you have the dgc/local/files/dgc.bashrc sourced in your .bashrc file (put a line . ~/dgc/local/files/dgc.bashrc in it)
• Do (replacing the x'es with the date):

   $ tar zxf gazebo-xxxxx.tar.gz
   $ cd gazebo-xxxxx
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ su
   $ make install
   $ exit
  
   $ cd..
   $ tar zxf librtk-src-2.3.0.tar.gz
   $ cd librtk-src-2.3.0
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ su
   $ make install
   $ exit
  
   $ cd ..
   $ tar zxf player-xxxxx.tar.gz
  $ cd player-xxxx
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ su
   $ make install
   $ exit
  

• Now let's compile Team Caltech's custom plugins: the Tahoe model, SickLMS221 model and the Corridor plugin:

   $ cd ~/dgc/gazebo/models
   $ make
  

• Now go to the Running Gazebo page for instructions on how to run Gazebo!
