Get NITE-Bin-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23.tar.bz2 from somewhere and put it in this directory

$ ls -al NITE-Bin-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23.tar.bz2                                            ## make sure you have NITE-BIN

To confirm you have successfully primesense-nite-nonfree,

$ ls -al /usr/lib/libXnVNite*       # check if library installed

$ cd catkin_ws/ws_jsk_openni_kinect
$ catkin b

Run roslaunch and check if your device run correctly

$ roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
$ rosrun openni_tracker openni_tracker _camera_frame_id:=camera_depth_frame

Troubleshooting

Run lsusb and check if your device correctly recognized by your OS

$ lsusb
$ Bus ○○○ Device ○○○: ID 1d27:0601 ASUS

If there is no device like "ASUS", the connected device seems to be broken.

Run NiViewer and check if you can run the device without NiTE function

$ NiViewer

If you have some error with this command, I recommend you to try

1. disconnect the device
2. sudo service udev restart
3. connect the device again

Run sample program in NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/Samples/Bin

$ ./Sample-Players
