Revision as of 02:29, 18 November 2010

This page documents how to get started using OpenKinect.

The libraries are very much in flux and this won't be the final process. This also means these instructions might be out of date with the latest commits.

Linux

Already compiled rpm and deb packages are available here: http://livingplace.informatik.haw-hamburg.de/blog/?p=228

Please note, that there are not udev generated devices for now, so you need to execute your programs as root (use sudo)

Ubuntu

An Ubuntu launchpad ppa for Lucid(10.04) and Maverick (10.10) is available at:

https://launchpad.net/~arne-alamut/+archive/freenect

to use it, open a console and execute:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arne-alamut/freenect

after that, you can use

$ sudo apt-get install libfreenect

After that, you need to addyourself to the 'video' group and log back in.

$ sudo adduser YOURNAME video

To start the OpenGL demo application:

$ glview

Manual build under linux

still need instructions for manually building under linux

OS X

Instructions: someone verify http://www.spoofscript.com/blog/?p=327

Windows
