Installing OpenNI Kinect on Linux/Mac OSX:

Please make sure you download the appropriate version! If you have a 64bit Linux installation, please download and use the 64 bit linux OpenNI,NITE, etc. files. Original instructions from here: https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect Mildly clarified and de-typoed. Will elaborate more soon.

For Mac/Linux, you will need to install the latest LibUSB.

	Linux:
		1) Run: sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
		2) Run: sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
	MaxOSX:
		3) Install MacPorts from: http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg
		4) Run: sudo port install libtool
		5) Run: sudo port install libusb-devel +universal

Note: Do not forget the +universal, it's very important!! If you're previously already installed libusb-devel then use "sudo port uninstall libusb-devel" and reinstall it again with the +universal flag.
