Installing ROS Kinetic and Gazebo 8

  • Install ROS Kinetic full installation

ROS install tutorial

  • Uninstall Gazebo 7
  • Install Gazebo 8

Gazebo install tutorial

' curl -ssL http://get.gazebosim.org | sh '

  • Clone gazebo_ros_pkgs to catkin_ws/src

gazebo_ros_pkgs Github repository

  • try to catkin_make

I got about 3 errors of missing dependencies one a time and installed them with ' sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-<package_name> ' Some "_" needed to be "-" for installing, use tab-completion to finish typing. Install each package and repeat until successful.

after successfully catkin_make'ing the package the installation should be done.


  • Error building keyboard_reader package

"error: ros/ros.h: No such file or directory" Solved by adding the line " include_directories(${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}) " to package CMakeLists.txt Forum link
