I have ROS Melodic and Gazebo 9.0.0 installed by installing ros-kinetic-desktop-full, but I'd like to update to the latest (Gazebo 9.12). I can't update Gazebo from source because it's tied to ROS.

Just curious, why do you need to? I'm also running ros melodic and gazebo-9. Should i upgrade?

Gazebo 9.0.0 has some bugs that were affecting my use but were fixed in Gazebo 9.12.0

This tutorial should have all the info you need: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ro...

In summary, since Gazebo 9 is the official version for Melodic, you should be able to upgrade to the latest Gazebo 9 minor version by following these instructions and keep using the rest of ROS as usual.

Meaning that melodic users shouldn't upgrade at all?

That's definitely not what the tutorial says. I updated the answer, hopefully that's clear now.

Sorry, I meant upgrade past version 9.

The tutorial also explains how to do that. The caveat there is that anything you build on top of gazebo_ros_pkgs will need to be compiled from source.

I was trying to avoid compiling from source because I wanted to keep the ROS linkage. Thanks for the help though I was able to figure it out

I was able to upgrade from Gazebo 9.0.0 to Gazebo 9.12.0 with a simple sudo apt-get upgrade
