How to: Use OpenNI 2 + NITE 2 + Kinect on Linux.

After the update of the library OpenNI from de version 1.5 to 2.0, it doesn't have support for the device Microsoft Kinect on Linux due licensing reasons . However, there are a OpenNI 2 binding that you can use the OpenKinect's freenect driver to use the OpenNI 2.0 with kinect on linux. The instalation is simple and you can use the library NITE 2, to get the user skeleton, without problem. Ok, let's do it:

Step 1: Building Prerequisites:

- GCC 4.x
    From: http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install g++
- Python 2.6+/3.x
    From: http://www.python.org/download/
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install python
- LibUSB 1.0.x
    From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
- FreeGLUT3
    From: http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
- Doxygen
    From: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install doxygen
- GraphViz
    From: http://www.graphviz.org/Download_linux_ubuntu.php
    Or via apt:
    sudo apt-get install graphviz

- Freenect

    From:  https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect

    Or via apt:

    sudo apt-get install freenect

Step 2: Download the source code of OpenNI2-Freenect on https://github.com/piedar/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver

go to the source code folder and build it using make.

step 3: Download the Nite library on http://www.openni.org/software/?cat_slug=file-cat1#.UV2sU_G8zFI, 

go to the source code folder and install using the command:
sudo bash install.sh.
after this if you want to run the samples of NITE2 you need to copy the folder OpenNI2-FreenectDriver-master/Bin/x86-Release/OpenNI2 to the folder /opt/Kinect/OpenNI2/NiTE-2.0.0/Samples/Bin and overwrite the existing folder.
