Intel® RealSense™ SDK 2.0 provides installation packages in dpkg format for Ubuntu 16 LTS*.
* The Realsense DKMS kernel drivers package (librealsense2-dkms) supports Ubuntu LTS kernels 4.4, 4.10 and 4.13.

To build the project from source, please follow steps described ./installation.md "here"

Installing the packages:

Add Intel server to the list of repositories :
‘echo 'deb http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/apt-repo xenial main’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/realsense-public.list <br>It is recommended to backup/etc/apt/sources.list.d/realsense-public.list` file in case of an upgrade.
Register the server's public key :
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 6F3EFCDE
- Refresh the list of repositories and packages available :
sudo apt-get update
In order to run demos install:
sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dkms
sudo apt-get install librealsense2-utils
The above two lines will deploy librealsense2 udev rules, kernel drivers, runtime library and executable demos and tools. Reconnect the Intel RealSense depth camera and run: realsense-viewer
Developers shall install additional packages:
sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dev
sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dbg
With dev package installed, you can compile an application with librealsense using g++ -std=c++11 filename.cpp -lrealsense2 or an IDE of your choice.

Verify that the kernel is updated :
modinfo uvcvideo | grep "version:" should include realsense string

Uninstalling the Packages:

Important Removing Debian package is allowed only when no other installed packages directly refer to it. For example removing librealsense2-udev-rules requires librealsense2 to be removed first.

Remove a single package with:
sudo apt-get --purge <package-name>
Remove all RealSense™ SDK-related packages with:
dpkg -l | grep "realsense" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge
