Now that everything that will need to be resolved is, let's download the programs we're going to use.

Everything we've done up to this point was to resolve all of those dependency issues so that we can do a nice clean install without running into any problems. The dependancies are those libraries and packages that the program you're installing depends on to be there. To build programs yourself in a Linux environment, you need to resolve dependancies first. $ sudo apt-get install libspeex-dev libogg-dev libtheora-dev libbluetooth-dev libopenal-dev $ sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libasound2-dev libdc1394-22-dev I don't think it matters in what order or how many of these you install, but to play it safe, I kept with the original directions. The -dev at the end of each library let's you know you're installing the development library, each of these has a version without the -dev, but for our purposes, we need to have development access. You're installing the libraries associated with specific file formats so that you can use them on your computer. The lib prefix on each of these items your installing indicate a library. Now that all the prerequisites to building programs are on your computer, we can work on installing all the specific things that are required by the Kinect and Vrui Programs.īefore I give you the commands, I want to let you know what each library is that you're installing.

The $ indicated a new line.ĭon't copy or write the $ in your code, it's already there!ĭon't copy anything that has around it, these are notes to let you know what the code is doing. Type, or copy and paste any commands I have in this instructable into Terminal, and hit enter after each one. To install things in Ubuntu, you need to have administrative rights, this allows us to have that. Sudo gives us admin privileges on whatever command it precedes. This screen is where we're going to install all of our stuff.Īpt-get is one of the main commands we're going to us, we use this to get applications over the internet and have them installed for us. If you click on Applications (in the top left corner of the main Ubuntu User Interface), drag your cursor down to Accessories, and then click on the Terminal application that pops up, you'll get a window that pops up with the text of your name, the computers name, and a :~$ afterward. Now that all of the system basics are installed and updated, let's get to the good stuff, Terminal! This instructable will be my attempt to convey that information I learned to you! Trying to install, I found that the instructions that are given on the webpage (which are incredibly difficult to find), aren't really helpful in installing them on a computer, so after spending two weeks with google and three computers, I finally feel I've figured out the best way to install the working application. In the end, I found a lot of information about Kinect 1.2 running under Ubuntu, and felt that this platform gave me the most initial options for immediate enjoyment. I also found out that all of these platforms were in different stages of development, and I don't think any of them are finished. The first thing I found was that there are a lot of different development platforms that all connect the Kinect to the computer in different ways. I started thinking recently that I would kind of like to work with it myself, see what kinds of things I might be able to make and do, and decided to get a Kinect to play with.
I've been watching the Kinect hacks online for the past several months and really enjoyed them.
