How to use

unzip the compressed files

$ tar -xf name.tar.xz

• Clone the git, add the folder in GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH
• (Necessary) Add common models to environment first

$ git clone https://github.com/engcang/gazebo_maps
$ echo "export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/common_models" >> ~/.bashrc

• (Optional) add the wanted world to environment

$ echo "export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/height_maze" >> ~/.bashrc

$ echo "export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/3d_maze" >> ~/.bashrc

$ echo "export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/large_mine_abandoned" >> ~/.bashrc

...

Add the world/model path you want!!

$ source ~/.bashrc

• launch the world

$ roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch world_name:=$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/small_maze/smaze2d.world

or

$ roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch world_name:=$(pwd)/gazebo_maps/3d_maze/eazy_maze.world

or

...

Launch the world/model you want!
