Ros kinetic openni installation

Hi Guys,

I've been having huge trouble installing/using openni on my ros kinetic. I have tried installing both opennilaunch and freenectlaunch from Synaptic. However, when running either roslaunch 'opennilaunch openni.launch' or 'roslaunch freenectlaunch freenect.launch' I have encountered bunch of errors and basically didn't get even close to getting any output from my kinect. My question is - is there possibly any comprehensive guide on how to install openni, or any other tool for using kinect with ros kinetic? I would very much appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance, Mike
