Users are highly discouraged from using the documentation and tutorials for Gazebo on this page. Gazebo is now a stand alone project at gazebosim.org. See documentation there, thanks!

Graphics Card Requirements

Please note that Gazebo requires working graphics card with OpenGL 3D accelerated driver to perform various rendering and image simulation tasks correctly. However, if you do not have a working graphics card, you can still run Gazebo headless at the expense of not having camera simulations and a working gazebo gui. If proper tf frames are setup, one can still view robot states through rviz.
