Package 'gazebo_ros' not found

[MyGithubNotYours]

Hi, thanks for the videos and directions!

Unfortunately, I'm stuck. I'm trying to follow your directions from the video and webpage: https://articulatedrobotics.xyz/ready-for-ros-8-gazebo/

However this step:

• $ ros2 run gazebo_ros spawn_entity.py -topic robot_description -entity some_name

results in this error:

• Package 'gazebo_ros' not found

I already did:

• sudo apt install ros-foxy-gazebo-ros-pkgs

and tested that gazebo opens with

• gazebo /usr/share/gazebo-11/worlds/seesaw.world

What am I missing?

Ah nevermind, I figured it out. I had sourced the /install/setup file in my workspace, but I didn't realize there was also a setup file in /opt/ros/foxy/ that needed to be sourced.

Glad you got it sorted!
