UR_Gazebo ROS2 Rolling Issues With Launching

I'm attempting to install the ursimulationgazebo package using this tutorial: https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS2_Gazebo_Simulation

Upon the step that tests running the simulation, I get the error: Package 'ursimulationgazebo' not found: "package 'ursimulationgazebo' not found, searching: ['/root/workspace/roswsrolling/install/ur_description', '/opt/ros/rolling']"

I made sure to source both ROS2's setup file and the setup file for the package, and this error still occurs. For context, I'm using ROS2 Rolling on a VM of Linux Jammy Distro and gazebo11.

I'm a bit new to working with both ROS and Linux, so feel free to talk to me like I'm stupid.

This looks like you are missing the actual ur_simulation_gazebo package. Either you didn't build it and re-source after building it or you forgot to actually clone it. As the output you posted indicates, the ur_description package is the only package built and sourced outside of your binary installation in /opt/ros.

However, looking at our docs it seems like we'll have to update them a bit. Things have changed a little since I last touched that.
