I cloned the melodic-devel branch and followed the steps for building from source:
# retrieve the sources (replace '$ROS_DISTRO' with the ROS version you are using)
git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot.git
cd $HOME/catkin_ws
# checking dependencies (again: replace '$ROS_DISTRO' with the ROS version you are using)
rosdep update
rosdep install --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO --ignore-src --from-paths src
# building
catkin_make
# activate this workspace
source $HOME/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
However, when I run xacro on ur5.urdf.xacro, I get an empty file:
(igibson) thankyou-always@thankyou:~/code/catkin_ws/src/universal_robot/ur_description/urdf$ rosrun xacro xacro -o ur5.urdf ur5.urdf.xacro
