Install

We recommend following the Binary Install instructions to get up and running as quickly and painlessly as possible.

The Source Install instructions should be used if you need the very latest software improvements, you need to modify the code, or you plan to make a contribution.

Binary Install

Ubuntu Linux

Setup your computer to accept software from packages.osrfoundation.org:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable `lsb_release -cs` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-stable.list'

Setup keys:

wget http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Install Gazebo Utils:

sudo apt install libignition-utils<#>-dev

Be sure to replace <#> with a number value, such as 1 or 2, depending on which version you need.

Source Install

Source installation can be performed in UNIX systems by first installing the necessary prerequisites followed by building from source.

Building from source

1. Clone the repository

   ``` git clone https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-utils -b ign-utils<#> `` Be sure to replace<#>` with a number value, such as 1 or 2, depending on which version you need.

2. Install dependencies

   ``` export SYSTEM_VERSION=bionic sudo apt -y install \ $(sort -u $(find . -iname 'packages-'$SYSTEM_VERSION'.apt' -o -iname 'packages.apt') | tr '
   ' ' ') ```

3. Configure and build

   ``` cd ign-utils; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make ```

4. Optionally, install Gazebo Utils

   ``` sudo make install ```
