Having the same problem. The models directory does not exist and I can’t create it
Me too… 
Hi,
even i have the same problem.how did you people resolve it?
I’ve just updated the command to use the folder gazebo-7 instead of gazebo. Can you confirm if it works now?
I am not sure if anyone else got around this. However, I just tried it with gazebo-7 and I get the permission denied there too. Has anyone found a solution?
By the way, the version I am looking at does not have .the gazebo-7 in the notebook either. I am working with the Exercise 2.3 in unit 2 Using Urdf for gazebo.
Hi,
I just tried it and it worked for me. The correct command is the one stated in the notebook, you might have an older version for some reason?:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/gazebo-7/models/my_mira_description
sudo cp -r /home/user/catkin_ws/src/my_mira_description /usr/share/gazebo-7/models/
Then if you execute the spawn command it should work:
rosservice call /gazebo/delete_model “model_name: ‘mira’”
roslaunch my_mira_description spawn_mira_no_controllers.launch
Please tell me if it didn’t work
