Change default Gazebo installation from source to binaries #662
Comments
I think we should be fine using binaries. |
@caguero It looks like we can install Gazebo garden from binaries, but Any ideas for improving this? Do you know why there is no binary for ros_gz garden? |
The binaries for this bridge combination are available but are a bit experimental, so we need to double-check that things are working. They're hosted in the prerelease Gazebo package repository. https://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-prerelease/pool/main/r/ Follow the |
Amazing! Thank you! I thought we were out of luck. I'll give it a try and then work on getting the binary version into our CI image. |
Note: this needs to happen before #643 |
OK, I've update the tutorial to use the
It seems to build and run without that variable, but let me know if we need it for something I haven't understood. Similarly, I think we no longer need to set the pythonpath variable since we are not installing Gazebo Sim from source, so I am removing the following from the Running VRX tutorial:
@caguero Please let me know if you think either of the removed steps above is still necessary. |
Package has been added to stable, so we no longer need to add the prelease. TODO: update the tutorial again. Then test on Docker. |
@M1chaelM hi, i'm trying to make the vrx setup on ros2 humble on m1 mac on an ubuntu vm using UTM. Got stuck in the process of installing gazebo garden. Is there any better way to install this or make whole setup on m1 mac in a easier way ?? |
@SBhat2615 I have updated the installation instructions so we use binaries now. See if that works. If not please create a bug report and use the form to describe your configuration. Thanks! |
This is now resolved. The installation tutorial on the Wiki has been updated to assume a binary install and the CI image has also been modified to test this configuration (see #663). |
We have been building Gazebo Sim from source, but it would simplify our installation process a bit if we could use the binaries instead. It would be great to make this switch for the final code freeze.
@caguero What do you think?
