)

sudo apt-get install ${packagelist[@]}

make it executable and run it

chmod +x script.sh
./script.sh

build your workspace

source your devel/setup.bash

configure environment: (probably add to .bashrc will be better)

export ROBOT=mbot05
export ROBOT_ENV=isr-testbed-sim
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=/home/user/my_catkin_ws/src/mbot_simulation/mbot_simulation_environments/models

launch simulator:

roslaunch mbot_simulation robot.launch
