Upgrade tutorial on OS X #54

Open osrf-migration opened 8 years ago

osrf-migration commented 8 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Silvio Traversaro (Bitbucket: traversaro).

I noticed that upgrading a version of Gazebo (for example from 6 to 7) using homebrew is not straightforward. While on linux apt take cares of details, just trying to install gazebo 7 (for example with brew install gazebo7) on a OS X system in which gazebo6 is installed could cause conflict related to dependencies.

It would be convenient to have a short tutorial to which direct users that want to upgrade their version of Gazebo.

The upgrade tutorial could also be linked to the release notes when a new major version is released.

That's a good point. I'm guessing it complains about the sdformat version? Maybe we need to add some conflicts_with tags in the homebrew formulae. If you create an issue at https://github.com/osrf/homebrew-simulation with a log of the console messages you see, then we can see if that helps fix things.
