Setup environment

Some of following steps can be outdated.
Just suppose here that you have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04

1. Connect Movidius or AiCore and go to Movidius NCS2 get started:
   https://software.intel.com/en-us/neural-compute-stick/get-started

2. Download 2018 R5 or newer.
   Open Terminal.
   Take care of following steps:
   

   • cd ~/Downloads
     
   • tar xvf l_openvino_toolkit_<VERSION>.tgz
     
   • cd l_openvino_toolkit_<VERSION>
     
   • sudo ./install_cv_sdk_dependencies.sh
     
   • sudo ./install_GUI.sh
     

3. A GUI appears, set Customize in /opt/intel. Check all components during installation.

4. Now setup Myriad adding udev rules. (if you don't want Myriad just jump to 7)
   

   • cd ~/Downloads
   • cat <<EOF > 97-usbboot.rules
   • SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2150", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
   • SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2485", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
   • SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f63b", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
   • EOF
   • sudo cp 97-usbboot.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
   • sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
   • sudo udevadm trigger
   • sudo ldconfig
   • rm 97-usbboot.rules

5. Test if Myriad is working well.
   

   • cd /opt/intel/computer_vision_sdk/deployment_tools/model_optimizer/install_prerequisites/
   • sudo ./install_prerequisites.sh
   • cd /opt/intel/computer_vision_sdk/deployment_tools/demo
   • sudo ./demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.sh -d MYRIAD

6. Demo completed successfully appears so everything is ok.

7. Setup GPU (if you don't want GPU just jump to 8) if you didn't install Myriad do this step else go directly to move in install_dependencies

   • cd /opt/intel/computer_vision_sdk/deployment_tools/model_optimizer/install_prerequisites/
   • sudo ./install_prerequisites.sh
     just continue
     
   • cd /opt/intel/openvino/install_dependencies/
   • sudo ./install_NEO_OCL_driver.sh
   • reboot

8. Source OpenVINO environment variables:

   • cd ~
   • sudo nano .bashrc
   • go to the end of the file and write: source /opt/intel/computer_vision_sdk/bin/setupvars.sh
   • press CTRL X then y and ENTER

9. Now we setup ROS Kinetic:

   • sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
   • sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
   • apt-cache search ros-kinetic
   • sudo rosdep init
   • rosdep update
   • echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
   • source ~/.bashrc
   • sudo apt install python-rosinstall python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool build-essential

10. Create a ROS workspace:

    • mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
    • cd ~/catkin_ws
    • catkin_make

11. Add to .bashrc /devel/setup.bash:

    • cd ~
    • sudo nano .bashrc
    • go to the end of the file and write: source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
    • press CTRL X then y and ENTER

12. Clone ros_openvino:

    • cd ~/catkin_ws/src
    • git clone http://github.com/gbr1/ros_openvino.git
    • cd ..
    • catkin_make

13. Test with a webcam (if you haven't got a webcam jump to 14):

    • sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-usb-cam
      if you have only GPU:
    • roslaunch ros_openvino gpu_demo_webcam.launch if you have a Myriad device:
      
    • roslaunch ros_openvino myriad_demo_webcam.launch

14. If you have got a Realsense Depth Camera D415/D435/D435i and you need to install it (if haven't got a Realsense D4xx edit demo launcher):

    • sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key C8B3A55A6F3EFCDE || sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-key C8B3A55A6F3EFCDE
    • sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/apt-repo xenial main" -u
    • sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dkms
    • sudo apt-get install librealsense2-utils
    • sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dev
    • sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dbg

15. If everything is installed correctly typing: modinfo uvcvideo | grep "version:" output contain realsense word.

16. Connect Realsense, if you want to see it in official SDK type realsense-viewer

17. To test ros_openvino with Myriad and Realsense type:
    roslaunch ros_openvino myriad_demo_realsense

18. Everything is installed! 💪🔥
