I've installed ROS kinetic with gazebo8 by running :

sudo apt-get ros-kinetic-gazebo8-ros-pkgs

After the installation , I found this command won't install default packages, such as turtlesim,rviz, that kinetic-desktop-full version have.

I need these packages, but I don't know what these packages exactly are, and it's a huge work to install them one by one.

So, is there any way I can install all the default packages?

Thanks in advance.

----update----

It won't work to use:sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full

I tried running: rosdep install --from-paths src/ --ignore-src there is an error:

    ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install
  apt: command [sudo -H apt-get install ros-kinetic-hector-gazebo-plugins] failed

@JohnBT: @PeteBlackerThe3rd is correct, that is how you would install "the rest" of ROS, provided you've followed the regular installation instructions.

rosdep install .. is only ever used if you're building from source, which you are not.

@gvdhoorn it seems that some dependencies are not compatible with Gazebo8....

desktop_full includes simulators which will depend on the default Gazebo version for Kinetic, which is 7.

You have two options:

uninstall Gazebo 8 (and the related pkgs), then install desktop_full and then install Gazebo 8 (which will remove Gazebo 7)
keep what you have ..

.. and install what desktop_full would install, but manually.

See REP-142 for what is contained in the metapackages. You could opt to install desktop, perception and urdf_tutorial using apt.

You might run into issues again though, but the ..

.. solution would be similar: figure out what is already installed and where that came from. Remove it or install only those parts that don't conflict.

Note also that the tutorial that you probably followed to install Gazebo 8 warned you about this (ie: possible conflicts).
