Thanks for this, for future reference, is there any way to directly install from this PKGBUILD? I edited the PKGBUILD when installing sdformat, but it seems kinda hacky.

Sure thing. I'd recommend checking out this page on the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Build_and_install_the_package. You can download the PKGBUILD from my gist and use makepkg to build and install the package.

Note that I don't maintain this file - it will likely be out of date soon if it isn't already.

Thanks, yeah, you are right. There is a version 5.0.0 already and Gazebo 8.0.0. Pretty hard to install, oh well.

Lord I had a nightmare of a time trying to get gazebo up and running. Thanks for this.
