Binary Installation on Ubuntu

Ionic binaries are provided for Ubuntu Noble (24.04). The Ionic binaries are hosted in the packages.osrfoundation.org repository. To install all of them, the metapackage gz-ionic can be installed.

First install some necessary tools:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lsb-release gnupg

Then install Gazebo Ionic:

sudo curl https://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo.gpg --output /usr/share/keyrings/pkgs-osrf-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pkgs-osrf-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-stable.list > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pkgs-osrf-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-prerelease $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-prerelease.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gz-ionic

All libraries should be ready to use and the gz sim app ready to be executed.

Head back to the Getting started page to start using Gazebo!

Uninstalling binary install

If you need to uninstall Gazebo or switch to a source-based install once you have already installed the library from binaries, run the following command:

sudo apt remove gz-ionic && sudo apt autoremove
