hello,

http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/downloads.html

You have to download it from here and you should unpack it to somewhere and thats all after it can be ran by terminal.
You have to go in V-rep folder and run "./vrep.sh".

Cheers

Hello,

yes, you can do that. You will however have to prepare all the ROS messages yourself, and correctly link that with the YouBot model. Have a look here, and at the very simple demo scene for ROS communication: scenes/rosInterfaceTopicPublisherAndSubscriber.ttt.

Cheers
