"Copy the GazeboPlugin.zip to your Linux machine that meets the following requirement:
Unzip the package on your Linux platform, for this example we unpack to /home/user/src/GazeboPlugin."

Hi Vignesh,
To install the Gazebo Plugin for Simulink co-simulation, follow these steps:
  • Open MATLAB and type packageGazeboPlugin in the Command Window. This will create "GazeboPlugin.zip" in your current working directory.
  • Move "GazeboPlugin.zip" to your Linux machine where Gazebo is installed.
  • Unzip the file and navigate to the directory using the following commands:
unzip GazeboPlugin.zip -d /home/user/src/
cd /home/user/src/GazeboPlugin
  1. If a build folder exists, remove it with following command:
rm -r build
  • Install the plugin using the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
  • The compiled plugin will be located at "/home/user/src/GazeboPlugin/export/lib/libGazeboCoSimPlugin.so".
Further details on setting up and launching the Gazebo Simulation Environment are available in the provided documentation link.
Hope this helps!
