I have a fresh system with ubuntu 14.04 installed in it, i want to install ROS-desktop-full and gazebo. Will installing ROS-indigo-desktop-full installs gazebo standalone along with gazebo_ros_pkgs? or i have to install the suitable standalone gazebo and gazebo_ros_pkgs manually as given here
Yes it installs gazebo seperately. You can verify by simply opening a terminal and typing gazebo and then trying to rosrun a node. The node will tell you that roscore is not running, that is because ROS and Gazebo are two seperate things apart from eachother. The gazebo_ros package is the one that allows the two systems to communicate with eachother. gazebo_ros is installed with the full desktop install.
You can run both gazebo and ros together by running the empty_world.launch file located in the gazebo_ros package by typing roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch
gazebo is already installed when you install ROS-indigo-desktop-full. then you can install the gazebo_ros_pkgs. if they are already installed, there is not problem if you install them again just to be sure
