FYI: Linux installation

[gekkie]

After breaking my head for about 2 weeks I have managed to install underlinux:

1. install openframework 10.0 including deps and build OF
2. goto addons folder and install all libs git clone https://github.com/kylemcdonald/ofxCv.git git clone https://github.com/braitsch/ofxDatGui.git git clone https://github.com/braitsch/ofxModal.git git clone https://github.com/braitsch/ofxParagraph.git
3. We need to switch to dev branch of ofxDatGui cd ofxDatGui git checkout dev
4. Download and install 1.5.4.1 in the apps/myapps filder
5. open projectGenerator-linux64/projectGenerator Open 1.5.4.1 in the sketch install the following addons ofxCv, ofxDatGui, ofxKinect, ofxModal, ofxOpencv, ofxParagraph, ofxXmlsettings
6. Update
7. goto to apps folder and cd to 1_5_4_1
8. make

Good luck to all!

Oh thanks for sharing!

I was trying to install the software on a Linux Mint system (which also has the https://arsandbox.ucdavis.edu/ software installed and working -- we wanted to check out Magic-Sand too) one day last week, and got to the point where a pale gray "OF" window would come up. Seeing your post above, I just followed your steps as well, but just get the same pale gray window. Looking at the line "By default the software starts in a setup mode where the depth or color image from the Kinect can be seen in the user interface and the projector projects a completely white image." from https://github.com/thomwolf/Magic-Sand/releases/tag/v1.5.4.1 I'm guessing that the pale gray is the "completely white image", but do you have to do something else to get the user interface to come up?

BTW, I can run the openFrameworks kinectExample example project just fine.

Bad news. I realized that I was compiling the wrong thing which also led me to a blank screen. the OF project generator hates dots and so makes a new folder with an underscore. When you merge the two and try to compile all hell breaks loose. After about 4 hours of fixing dependancies and code I stopped. Might spend some time next week but not sure.

Need some help, because of these informations

That was quite helpful but I still have an issue, it still doesn't make. I'm trying to use the ofxRealSense2 addon also on Ubuntu

I have this problem too. Did you manage to fix it ??
