Linux
To install the tof library on linux run:
sudo tar -xzf tof-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
This will install the tof library for all users and you won’t have to add to the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
To update the PYTHONPATH variable in your bashrc file to point to the tof python library run:
echo 'export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/lib/python"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
If you installed the tof library in a different directory, you will need to update the following variables:
| Variable | Relative path location to add |
|---|---|
| PATH | tof/bin |
| LD_LIBRARY_PATH | tof/lib |
| PYTHONPATH | tof/lib/python |
usb access on linux
On Ubuntu (and many other distros) by default root privileges are required to communicate with driverless USB devices. You can run the viewer as root, or add a rule to udev. To add the required rule to udev run:
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
