How to get the gazebo models after initial install

If you try to run gazebo for the first time, at least in Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Indigo you'll get the annoying messages:

Warning [gazebo.cc:215] Waited 1seconds for namespaces.
Error [gazebo.cc:220] Waited 11 seconds for namespaces. Giving up.
Error [Node.cc:90] No namespace found

And you won't have a model for the sun and the ground_plane (really OSRF??).

To fix that just download the models and extract them in ~/.gazebo/models.

That's a 380MB download, approx.

You could also do:

mkdir -p ~/.gazebo
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_models ~/.gazebo/models

But that's gonna be like 750MB as it has the history of the repo.

I ended up on my own README after having the same problem trying to use the Pepper simulation, when I control+C'ed I got the error:

URI doesn't exist[model://robocup09_spl_field/materials/scripts/]
