Gazebo Messages is a component in the Gazebo framework, a set of libraries designed to rapidly develop robot applications.

Installation

See the installation tutorial.

Known issue of command line tools

In the event that the installation is a mix of Debian and from source, command line tools from gz-tools may not work correctly.

A workaround for a single package is to define the environment variable GZ_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the Gazebo library installation, where the YAML file for the package is found, such as

export GZ_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/gz

However, that environment variable only takes a single path, which means if the installations from source are in different locations, only one can be specified.

Another workaround for working with multiple Gazebo libraries on the command line is using symbolic links to each library's YAML file.

mkdir ~/.gz/tools/configs -p
cd ~/.gz/tools/configs/
ln -s /usr/local/share/gz/fuel8.yaml .
ln -s /usr/local/share/gz/transport13.yaml .
ln -s /usr/local/share/gz/transportlog13.yaml .
...
export GZ_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.gz/tools/configs

This issue is tracked here.
