 * 1) Tutorial: Quick Start#

Please use the correct version number if you are using this tutorial with a different version of Gazebo than 1.4.0
 * 1) Run an empty world

1. Install Gazebo. 2. Setup environment variables

source /share/gazebo/setup.sh

If Gazebo was installed to /usr (which is the default) then:

source /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh

3. Test out the server. This will start the physics engine with an empty world

gzserver

Expected output:

Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.4.0 Copyright (C) 2012 Nate Koenig, John Hsu, and contributors. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org

Msg Waiting for master Msg Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 Msg Publicized address: 192.168.xxx.yyy

4. Test out the GUI client. This will connect to the server and give you a graphical display of the simulation.

gzclient

Expected output:

Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.4.0 Copyright (C) 2012 Nate Koenig, John Hsu, and contributors. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org

Msg Waiting for master Msg Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 Msg Publicized address: 192.168.xxx.yyy

5. Alternatively, you can launch the client and the server with a single command:

gazebo
