+### 💡 Environment variables
+`robot-log-visualizer` looks for the model in the folders pointed by one of the following environment variables:
+`GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH`, `ROS_PACKAGE_PATH`, `AMENT_PREFIX_PATH` Please remember to add your model folder to one of these
+environment variables.
+For instance, if you have a model in the folder `~/my-models` you can add it to the `GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH` with the
+following command
+```console
+export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=${GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH}:~/my-models
+ ``` 
+Where `~/my-models` is the path to your models folder that is structured as follows
+```console
+tree ~/my-models
+~/my-models
+├── model1
+│   ├── model.config
+│   └── model.urdf
+└── model2
+    ├── model.config
+    └── model.urdf
+```
+And the name of the robot stored in the `mat` file is `model1` or `model2`.
