RealSense SDK for Ubuntu installation guide

[Yaniv_S_Intel]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project with Intel RealSense R200 camera & Joule board with Ubuntu 16.0.4 for person tracking purpose.

I'm trying to figure out how exactly I need to prepare my environment.

I read some guides about it but unfortunately after installing libs, repo's and required packages I was out of disk space and had to format it.

I understand that I need the following components (with they dependencies!):

1) librealsense

2) RealSense SDK fro Linux

For the second (RealSense SDK for Linux) I found 2 references from Intel:

1) https://software.intel.com/sites/products/realsense/sdk/getting_started.html# Installing_the_SDK Intel® RealSense™ SDK for Linux: Getting Started

2) https://software.intel.com/sites/products/realsense/intro/getting_started.html Introduction to Intel® RealSense™ SDK for Linux: Getting Started

The instructions are different between them!!

Note: I followed the first one, and installed openCV 3.1 which took very large space capacity and eventually when I tried to install the tutorials and person_tracking libs I ran out of space!!

Please advice which of the following instructions I need to follow to get it all set and running...

Librealsense's official installation instructions aren't exactly child's play but are at least clearer than some explanations I've seen!

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/installation.md librealsense/installation.md at master · IntelRealSense/librealsense · GitHub

My instinct though is that you should focus on the instructions that are specifically for Joule - the second link that you provided, since they include commands for installing Librealsense.

Hi YanivSheffer,

I do not need any more assistance.

After consulting with some of my colleagues I realize that the first link was for ZR300 camera, and I have R200 type.

The second link was the one that I needed for my work.

Du note that it was unclear and hard to find the correct instructions for the environment preparations for my work.

Regards,

Yaniv
