According to the video, when the rosject is started, it should open the shell and run an installation script that installs all required packages. When I start the rosject, the script is run, but it seems it can’t locate some of the packages. This is the output of the script:
Furthermore, if I then try to source the setup.bash and run the simulation, Gazebo does open with a correct scene, but without the robot. The output after launching the simulation is as follows (after which an active shell prompt is give):
[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/user/.ros/log/2025-06-10-14-07-45-423287-4_xterm-1801

I was running this via the virtual desktop like in the video, as I don’t have Linux environment at the moment. Also, I don’t have that much experience on Linux, so it seemed prudent to do it on the environment provided. I tried updating apt and then running the course_install script again, but that didn’t help.

Yes, thank you, this solution worked, although now the simulation is not responding to the teleop node. However, as that is a different problem, I’ll mark this one solved, and look a bit more into the new one before opening a new thread (if needed)
