Note
When installing the SDK, remember the path you install to. For example, "C:\Program Files\Azure Kinect SDK 1.2". You will find the tools referenced in articles in this path.
You can find previous versions of Azure Kinect Sensor SDK and Firmware on GitHub.
Currently, the only supported distribution is Ubuntu 18.04. To request support for other distributions, see this page.
First, you'll need to configure Microsoft's Package Repository, following the instructions here.
Now, you can install the necessary packages. The k4a-tools package includes the Azure Kinect Viewer, the Azure Kinect Recorder, and the Azure Kinect Firmware Tool. To install it, run
sudo apt install k4a-tools
The libk4a<major>.<minor>-dev package contains the headers and CMake files to build against libk4a.
The libk4a<major>.<minor> package contains the shared objects needed to run executables that depend on libk4a.
The basic tutorials require the libk4a<major>.<minor>-dev package. To install it, run
sudo apt install libk4a1.1-dev
If the command succeeds, the SDK is ready for use.
You can find the change log for the Azure Kinect Sensor SDK here.
