while installing Gazebo simulator in ROS electric,this statement is given on Gazebo wiki page,ROS Users: Never install gazebo from here. Use these instructions. ,and when we click on the folowing link,it direct us to ROS installation page where no information is being given for the installation of Gazebo simulator,Kindly help me to overcome this situation.........
Hi, If you have installed the ros-electric-desktop-full then gazebo comes along with it. You just have to follow the instructions here and get started.
If you have installed ros by other means and don't get gazebo along with it. Then checkout the stack from as given in the link controlled by svn and compile the package and follow the instructions in the first link of this answer.
Let me know if any issues.
Hope it helps,
Karthik
As you are not sure about your installation you may face dependencies issues later on. I suggest you to reinstall ROS desktop full version and get the Gazebo. Else you have to download the stack of Gazebo from the subversion using
svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/simulator_gazebo/trunk/gazebo ~/ros_workspace/gazebo
followed by
cd ~/ros_workspace
rospack profile
rosmake gazebo
If you get any errors mostly would be for the dependencies which you may have to install individually till you get the gazebo package compiled successfully. Hope it helps.

Hello kartik, I am new webbie to both ROS and LINUX.I think i hadnt installed ros-electric-desktop-full,and even i dont know how to find the current version of installed ROS version.But i am very sure that Gazebo dosent come with my installed version because after following the instruction given to launch Gazebo,it dosent work and there come some errors declaring that i hadnt installed Gazebo.
Secondaly after going through the instruction provided in the http://www.ros.org/wiki/gazebo,its quite tough for me to install gazebo.If you can help me by exlaning it a bit than that will be helpfull for me.
Thanks for the reply.
Hi, If you are explaining your question again, pls edit in your question itself and give us a comment saying the question is updated so as to avoid many answers here which are not actually answers. Please remove this answer and put it in question itself with date of modification. Thanks :)
Hey kartik,after going through your instaruction ,gazebo was installed but with certain warning regarding dependencies,
WARNING: Rosdep did not detect the following system dependencies as installed: libqt4-dev, yaml, libqt4-opengl-dev, libtool, tbb, fltk Consider using --rosdep-install option or rosdep install gazebo.
now to install there dependencies i should write a command like sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev.
Am i right?
