Kinect model 1414 and ros indigo

I am using ros indigo in ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am using a Kinect model 1414, for using it with my robot. I am using kinect for the first time. Can some please tell, how to get it installed and running. I thought i need to use OpenNi but some Q&A said OpenNi has errors and has expired. Few blogs said use freenect. All these libraries are having there own versions. Can some one tell me what exactly I will need to get my Kinect installed with my ros. Thanks in advance.
