Intel RealSense

Install

sudo apt-get install automake libtool libusb-1.0-0-dev libx11-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt install libssl-dev

There is a script to download and compile, e.g. on Raspberry Pi here: https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/blob/master/doc/libuvc_installation.md

To install pyrealsense2 at the same time as librealsense, line 46 of the 'libuvc_installation.sh' build script should be changed from this:

cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release

to this:

cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS:bool=true

Library and examples

This is an alternative to the script above.

cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git
cd librealsense
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j3
sudo make install

Copy udev rules to udev

cd ~/git/librealsense/config/99-realsense*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
udevadm control --reload-rules
