Gazebo installation problems

[sdumencic]

I am really new to robotics so I was following this tutorial on how to install Gazebo for ROS2 Jazzy: https://github.com/husarion/rosbot_ros/tree/jazzy I get an error during rosdep install. The whole installation process is described below. I want to know how to fix the error I get and how to successfully install Gazebo with the husarion rosbot.

So it looked like this:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip ros-dev-tools
stm32flash

I already have ros2_ws directory so I did this:

cd ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/husarion/rosbot_ros 

Since I want to build and run Gazebo simulation, I skipped the hardware part. Then I installed the Gazebo Harmonic version compatible with ROS2 Jazzy following the guide on the official Gazebo site: https://gazebosim.org/docs/harmonic/install_ubuntu/ I put the following line in the .bashrc file and sourced it.

export GZ_VERSION=harmonic

For building I did this:

export HUSARION_ROS_BUILD=simulation

source /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/setup.bash

vcs import src < src/rosbot/rosbot_hardware.repos
vcs import src < src/rosbot/rosbot_simulation.repos

# Build only diff_drive_controller and imu_sensor_broadcaster from ros2_controllers
cp -r src/ros2_controllers/diff_drive_controller src && cp -r src/ros2_controllers/imu_sensor_broadcaster src && rm -rf src/ros2_controllers

sudo rosdep init
rosdep update --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO

However, I get an error when executing the following lines:

rosdep install -i --from-path src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO -y
colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

It says this:

WARNING: Skipping /usr/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/pybind11-2.11.1.dist-info due to invalid metadata entry 'name'

This post is unrelated to Open-RMF, so I'll be closing it as off-topic.

If you're having trouble with instructions that came from another repo, I recommend contacting the maintainers of that repo for help on the matter.

rosbot_gazebo: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [ign_ros2_control]

This suggests the repo that you're using is out of date since ign_ros2_control would have migrated to gz_ros2_control before Harmonic.
