MicroXRCEAgent and running PX4 simulation

PX4 Autopilot
1

I’m trying to run the PX4 simulation using the steps in the following guide:

Everything is fine until I try running the MicroXRCEAgent using the command

lebron@lebron-desktop:~/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent/build$ MicroXRCEAgent udp4 -p 8888

The output I get from that seems fine but when I try to run the PX4 simulation using the next step I get errors. The command I am running is the following, and it is being run in a different terminal as stated in the guide:

lebron@lebron-desktop:~/PX4-Autopilot$ make px4_sitl gz_x500

This returns the following error:
ninja: error: unknown target ‘gz_x500’

make: *** [Makefile:232: px4_sitl] Error 1

I’m having a lot of difficulty troubleshooting this issue and would appreciate if someone with more experience could help me out.

That doesnt seem to be an error with micro agent and more gazebo. Do you have gazebo installed?
