Setting up Kinect model

Add the kinect directory to ~/.gazebo/models (create models sub-directory if it doesn't exist).
Also type the following command into your terminal window
echo 'export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=~/.gazebo/models:$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc (for bash users)
echo 'export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=~/.gazebo/models:$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH' >> ~/.zshrc (for zsh users)

Building Files

Add all the folders except kinect to your catkin workspace and then run catkin build to build the packages.
