macOS installation for RealSense SDK

❗️

Note

macOS support for the full range of functionality offered by the SDK is not yet complete. If you need support for R200 or the ZR300, legacy librealsense offers a subset of SDK functionality.

Building from source

1. Install XCode 6.0+ via the AppStore.
2. Install the Homebrew package manager via terminal. See this link for guidance.
3. Install the following packages via Homebrew:

brew install libusb pkg-config
brew install homebrew/core/glfw3
brew install cmake

Note: librealsense requires CMake version 3.8+ that can be obtained via the official CMake site.

4. Generate XCode project:

mkdir build && cd build
sudo xcode-select --reset
cmake .. -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DBUILD_WITH_OPENMP=false -DHWM_OVER_XU=false -G Xcode

5. Open and build the XCode project.
