Installing OpenNI in Ubuntu
We can install the OpenNI library along with ROS packages. ROS is already interfaced with OpenNI, but the ROS desktop full installation may not install OpenNI packages; if so, we need to install it from the package manager.
The following command will install the ROS-OpenNI library (which is mainly supported by the Kinect Xbox 360 sensor) in Kinetic and Melodic:
$ sudo apt-get install ros-<version>-openni-launch
The following command will install the ROS-OpenNI 2 library (which is mainly supported by Asus Xtion Pro and Primesense Carmine):
$ sudo apt-get install ros-<version>-openni2-launch
The source code and latest build of OpenNI for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X is available at http://structure.io/openni.
