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!
