Getting Started on Linux

The MYNT EYE SDK is compatible with Ubuntu 14.04/16.04.

We provide different versions for GCC 4 and 5 because GCC 5 uses a new ABI by default (see here). It is recommended that you use the consistent version.

Prerequisites

# Install build tools
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git

# Install OpenCV dependencies
$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config libgtk2.0-dev

# Install ssl for https, v4l for video
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libv4l-dev v4l-utils

Install OpenCV 3.4

$ git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
$ cd opencv/
$ git checkout tags/3.4.0

$ mkdir build
$ cd build/

$ cmake \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
\
-DWITH_CUDA=OFF \
\
-DBUILD_DOCS=OFF \
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF \
..

$ make -j4

Install CUDA (Optional)

If you have Nvidia's graphic card, you could enable GPU compute capability as follows:

• Ensure your graphic card drivers are up to date.
• Download and install correct version of CUDA Toolkit according to here.

Install SDK

Go to the SDK directory and edit sdk.cfg to set your OpenCV install directory etc., then install:

$ cd <sdk directory>
$ ./install.sh
$ source ~/.bashrc

Check Installation

After ./install.sh, you could check the environment variables:

$ echo $MYNTEYE_SDK_ROOT
<Should be the sdk path>

Build SDK Samples

$ cd samples/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build/
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
