sudo apt install ros-foxy-turtlebot3* dont download models for simulation

I am running on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal using ROS Foxy.

Following the tutorial on navigation stack (https://navigation.ros.org/getting_st...), one step is to enter the command: sudo apt install ros-foxy-turtlebot3*

It seems I cant download turtlebot3 models for simulation. As a result, gazebo shows an empty world without the turtlebot.

Also checked the share folder used in the command GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:/opt/ros/foxy/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/models but could not find it.

Got this problem solved by following the instruction on this link (https://ubuntu.com/blog/simulate-the-...).

After cloning the turtlebot3 repo and build the turtlebot3_ws using colcon, I added it to the GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH and ran the simulation.
