Some notes:
8+
9+
* Gazebo11 is also released as an **Ubuntu official package**:
10+
[check which version](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=gazebo&searchon=sourcenames)
11+
is available for every distribution. The version in Ubuntu repositories
12+
rarely change for stability reasons.
13+
14+
* Starting with Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) **Open Robotics won't be
15+
releasing more binary packages of Gazebo11 in `packages.osrfoundation.org`**
16+
for the new Ubuntu versions. [The migration to new Gz, formerly Ignition is recommended](https://community.gazebosim.org/t/a-new-era-for-gazebo/1356).
17+
Binaries coming directly from Ubuntu repositories can be used for these
18+
new platforms. The upstream code will keep accepting patches for new
19+
software versions so from-source installations will also be an option.
20+
21+
* If you are a [ROS](http://ros.org) user, please read the tutorial about the
22+
[ROS/Gazebo installation](http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ros_wrapper_versions&cat=connect_ros).
