Revision history [back]

Yes it installs gazebo seperately. You can verify by simply opening a terminal and typing gazebo and then trying to rosrun a node. The node will tell you that roscore is not running, that is because ROS and Gazebo are two seperate things apart from eachother. The gazebo_ros package is the one that allows the two systems to communicate with eachother. gazebo_ros is installed with the full desktop install.

You can run both gazebo and ros together by running the empty_world.launch file located in the gazebo_ros package by typing roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch
