Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing fine. I have been googling, reading forums and talking to people on discord but i cannot solve this. I try to run gazebo simulation for the first time but I have been having issues. This is the error I get, could you please guide me in the right direction? what am I missing here.

@unclegueralt Hi, I think the error you’re facing is related to the GZ_SIM_RESOURCE_PATH variable not set correctly. You can try setting it by running:
export GZ_SIM_RESOURCE_PATH=~/Desktop/PX4-Autopilot/Tools/simulation/gz/models:~/Desktop/PX4-Autopilot/Tools/simulation/gz/worlds
i trued but its not working
/PX4-Autopilot$ make px4_sitl gz_x500
[0/1] cd /home/usmannoor/PX4-Autopilot…topilot/build/px4_sitl_default/bin/px4

Although my logs still say that i need to check my GZ_SIM_RESOURCE_PATH, I have been able to successfully launch the sim by disabling my firewall using the suggestion found here
