Downloading binary packages

Some packages are contributed by third parties developers. WARNING! These packages are by no means official! We make no guarantees regarding the correctness, completeness or currency of these packages; use at your own risk.

Debian/Ubuntu packages

  • Requires: Linux Debian/Ubuntu
  • Provides: Player, Stage, Gazebo

For Ubuntu 9.10 or superior

https://launchpad.net/~thjc/+archive/ppa/+packages

Note: Using Gazebo from these packages doesn't work for me on Ubuntu 9.10. But using Gazebo compiled from svn rev. 8325 worked fine (with some minor bugs). To avoid compiling Ogre 1.6.4 i used the debian sid packages - B2ag

Gentoo packages

  • Requires: Linux Gentoo
  • Provides: Player, Stage, Gazebo

Gentoo ebuilds for Player, Stage and Gazebo can be found here (thanks to Victor Manuel Jaquez Leal):


The installation instructions can be found in the Gentoo wiki's HOWTO install Gazebo/Player/Stage If you want to use player from within python, you will need player-2.0.3. Otherwise, "import playerc" will fail.

OS X/Fink/Gazebo

  • Requires: OS X Fink
  • Provides: Gazebo 0.5 dependencies

Warning: Gazebo 0.5 is outdated!

Lars Cremean has kindly provide a shell script that will install the required dependencies for Gazebo. This script will apt-get binaries when they are available, and install from source when they are not.

Run this script from a console, then proceed with the source-based Gazebo installation:

Fedora packages

  • Requires: Fedora 9, 10, or 11
  • Provides: Player

Player 2.1.1 is currently hosted in Fedora's official repositories. You can install all of the Player components by running the command:

yum install player player-devel player-doc player-examples player-python

Alternate Fedora packages

  • Requires: yum-based Linux (e.g., Fedora 7)
  • Provides: Player, Stage, Gazebo

Note: These packages are hosted by a third party, and are mostly out of date.

Courtesy of Douglas Blank at Brynmawr:

If you are using Fedora 7, or perhaps another yum-based Linux distribution, you might be interested in our yum repository.

It is as easy as copying the following text to /etc/yum.repos.d/pyrobot.repo 

[pyrobot]
name=Python Robotics
baseurl=http://pyrorobotics.org/pyro/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
gpgkey=http://pyrorobotics.org/pyro/fedora/RPM-GPG-KEY-dblank
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

and entering "yum install player stage gazebo". You can also get Pyro, a Python-based robotics control system that can talk to P/S/G (and other robots and simulators). Just type "yum install pyrobot".

Gazebo works as built with our ATI-based video boards. Let us know if you have any problems.
