How to control the start of actor animation with a plugin

Hello, everyone

I'm a first time student of the Gazebo and I'm working my way through the tutorials. However, I can't get this tutorial to work (http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=contain_plugin&cat=plugins).

My environment is Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm using gazebo version 9.

I found out that libContainPlugin.so is included in Ubunt 20.04. Is there any way to trigger the model in the same way on Ubuntu 18.04?

Thanks.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and I installed gazebo9 from debians using sudo apt-get install gazebo9. I see libContainPlugin.so at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gazebo-9/plugins/libContainPlugin.so. Can you check your system to see if it is there as well? If not, try running sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade gazebo9.
