Build and Install

This describes how to install required dependencies (including ROS Kinetic), softwares, drivers and the OpenPTrack v2 “Gnocchi release” on a PC.

We currently offer two approaches to getting OpenPTrack V2 installed. Due to the large number of dependencies and extensive build process, if you just want to run OpenPTrack, we suggest trying the Docker approach first.

1. Docker Images

This approach uses container in which case you simply download images of the dependencies and our latest branch via Docker. This is especially good if you are a beginner, are not too familiar with or are not interested in customization options for dependencies and drivers. Instructions are found here.

2. Manual Build and Installation

This approach takes you step by step through the installation process. It starts with the dependencies, then CUDA and other softwares, and finally the OpenPTrack v2 modules. Users of this approach are able to customize the steps based on their understanding of their machine requirements and their knowledge. This approach can easily be used by intermediate and advanced users. Instructions can be found here.
