sobfu_installation

This is the dependencies I installed for running project sobfu. Briefly, the dependencies are: CUDA 9.0, PCL-1.8.1, Eigen-3.3.6, Boosct-1.65.1, OpenCV-3.4.3, and VTK-7.1.1.

This will also be helpful for someone who want to install NVIDIA driver and CUDA on a laptop with multiple GPU.

Dependencies

1. update gcc

cuda 9.0 is only supported by gcc 6. The gcc should be changed firstly.

sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install build-essential software-properties-common -y && \
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 -y && \
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 && \
gcc -v

2. install nvidia driver and cuda 9.0

Do not change anything, just follow this instruction cuda_installation_on_ubuntu_18.04. It also works for Ubuntu 16.04.

# first get the PPA repository driver
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

# install nvidia driver 
sudo apt install nvidia-384 nvidia-384-dev

# install other import packages
sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev

# downoad one of the "runfile (local)" installation packages from cuda toolkit archive 
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.0/Prod/local_installers/cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux-run

# make the download file executable
chmod +x cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux.run 
sudo ./cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux.run --override

# answer following questions while installation begin
# You are attempting to install on an unsupported configuration. Do you wish to continue? y
# Install NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 384.81? n
# Install the CUDA 9.0 Toolkit? y

# set up symlinks for gcc/g++
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-6 /usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-6 /usr/local/cuda/bin/g++

# setup your paths
echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

# Finally, to verify the installation, check
nvidia-smi
nvcc -V

3. install cmake

Here I chose the latest version (3.15.0). Download here and follow the cmake github instruction.

./bootstrap && make && sudo make install

4. install opengl

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

5. install boost

Download boost 1.65.1.

sudo ./bootstrap.sh
sudo ./b2 install
sudo ldconfig
# setup boost
echo 'export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/boost/include' >> ~/.bashrc

6. install Eigen 3.3.6

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install

7. install vtk 7.1.1

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install

8. install pcl 1.8.1

download pcl from here.

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-libc-dev
# sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-gui
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev libudev-dev

# openmpi-common error: install again is fine
sudo apt-get install mpi-default-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-common 
sudo apt-get install libflann1.8 libflann-dev
# sudo apt-get install libeigen3-dev 
# sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
# sudo apt-get install libvtk5.10-qt4 libvtk5.10 libvtk5-dev
sudo apt-get install libqhull* libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
# sudo apt-get install qt-sdk 
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre
sudo apt-get install libflann-dev

mkdir build 
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_GPU=ON -DBUILD_apps=ON ..
make -j4
sudo make install

9. install OpenCV 3.4.3

According to opencv tutorial_linux_install.

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install cmake git libgtk2.0-dev pkg-config libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy libtbb2 libtbb-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libjasper-dev libdc1394-22-dev

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON –D WITH_VTK=ON ../
make -j4
sudo make install

10. Some other things

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libopenni2-dev
sudo apt-get install libopenni-dev
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

Run sobfu

Download sobfu and some useful instructions

Modify this line in the CMakeList according to the GPU in your laptop. The GPU I got is GeForce GTX 960M, so this line should be -gencode;arch=compute_50,code=sm_50. Some settings for GPU can be found on the wiki of ccminer.

Run the code

./build/bin/app /path/to/data /path/to/params <--enable-viz> <--enable-log> <--verbose>
