(make install)

ergocub for Gazebo Classic simulation model needs a gazebo-yarp-plugins >= 4.9.0 .

In order to use the model, the following env variables must be configured:

# ergoCub model in YARP
export YARP_DATA_DIRS=${YARP_DATA_DIRS}:<install-prefix>/share/ergoCub
# ergoCub model in Gazebo
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=${GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH}:<install-prefix>/share/ergoCub/robots
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=${GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH}:<install-prefix>/share/
