nao packages have not been released in ROS Melodic yet.
You can build the various packages from source.
In the case of nao_meshes, you should be able to run the indigo installer manually as I dont think it is tied to a given version of ubuntu/ROS: https://github.com/ros-naoqi/nao_meshes_installer/blob/master/naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run

Thanks so much for your reply! I've downloaded it and chmod +x naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run, then it turned green in my terminal. And I sudo ./naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run, then nothing happened ...........

hmmm too bad, it was worth a shot. I just tried on xenial and it worked (but I dont have a bionic environment to test it).

wget https://github.com/ros-naoqi/nao_meshes_installer/raw/master/naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run
chmod +x ./naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run
./naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-installer.run

Not that this is a wizard so you need an X server running to be able to display it and follow the install steps

Hi, thanks for your help, Still nothing happened.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 on VMware player 14.
I'm curious about the X server? is that some kind of background program? Which version should I install in order to display the wizard?

I've just tried using Ubuntu 16.04 and Kinetic, and in my case, only the x64 installer works. The other one causes nothing to happen. So maybe you can try this (if you are still trying):

wget https://github.com/ros-naoqi/nao_meshes_installer/raw/master/naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-x64-installer.run
chmod +x naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-x64-installer.run
./naomeshes-0.6.7-linux-x64-installer.run

For anyone who might be looking at this issue. I have run and tested the solution provided by @mikaelarguedas. It works on ubuntu 18.04 ROS melodic as well.

nao_meshes has been released for ROS Melodic and should be available in the next melodic sync.

If you want to give a try to the package right now you can install it from the testing repository

The instructions shown by @arixrobotics works to install the meshes in Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic as well. Thank you!
