What operating system are you on, what version, and do you know your processor?

And are you using ros? if so this becomes a lot easier.


If you're interested in install rtabmap with ros here are some steps:

1) install ros: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Installation
- pick your OS then follow the steps. make sure you follow the instructions exactly or you can botch your install

2) on ubuntu: install ros packages to help (assuming you installed ros indigo, if not use "kinetic" where you see "indigo")
$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-openni-*
$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-freenect-*

3) install rtabmap
- I THINK you can install the standalone: $ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rtabmap
- if not, follow this: https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap/wiki/Installation

4) install rtabmap_ros
- in the ros install you're walked through creating a catkin_ws workspace
- clone rtabmap_ros into catkin_ws/src
- run `catkin_make` from your catkin_ws folder

There are number of ways to install everything and a GREAT place for help on topics like this is answers.ros.org

Cheers!
