-	GAZEBO INSTALLATION SCRIPT

 	=======================================================
 
-	This script is installing the latest stable version of
-	Gazebo Simulator available from your package manager
+	This script was installing Gazebo Classic but has been deprecated
+	and does not install anything right now. Gazebo Classic was
+	replaced by a new series of Gazebo, full documentation is at:

-
-	if command_exists gazebo; then
-		cat >&2 <<-'EOF'
-		Warning: the "gazebo" command appears to already exist on this system.
-
-		If you already have gazebo installed, this script can cause trouble, which is
-		why we're displaying this warning and provide the opportunity to cancel the
-		installation.
+	https://gazebosim.org/docs/latest/gazebo_classic_migration/
 
-		If you installed the current gazebo package using this script and are using it
-		again to update gazebo, you can safely ignore this message.
-
-		You may press Ctrl+C now to abort this script.
