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

From MartyG-RealSense on a pose here: https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/issues/13373

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

All example commands start with rs-, e.g.:

rs-capture
rs-pointcloud

Intel Librealsense

Installing support for Intel librealsense.

sudo apt install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
cd git
git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git
cd librealsense
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

I also needed to install libusb-1.0-0-dev

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

This path was not included in the CMakeLists.txt, so I added this line at the beginning of the CMakeLists.txt:

cd librealsense
nano CMakeLists.txt

add

include_directories( /usr/include/libusb-1.0/ )

like here:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

set( LRS_TARGET realsense2 )
project( ${LRS_TARGET} LANGUAGES CXX C )

# Allow librealsense2 and all of the nested project to include the main repo folder
set(REPO_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
include_directories(${REPO_ROOT})
include_directories( /usr/include/libusb-1.0/ )

include(CMake/lrs_options.cmake)
include(CMake/connectivity_check.cmake)
