Installing ROS Kinetic and Gazebo 8

  • Install ROS Kinetic full installation

http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu

  • Uninstall Gazebo 7
  • Install Gazebo 8

http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=install_ubuntu

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

  • Clone gazebo_ros_pkgs to catkin_ws/src

gazebo_ros_pkgs https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs gazebo_ros_pkgs

  • 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

  • teleop_twist_keyboard

after installing teleop_twist_keyboard with ' sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-teleop-twist-keyboard ' the package did not publish /cmd_vel. When uinstalled and built from source worked as expected.
