At first, I think that you should check if kinect for windows works on ubuntu 12.04. I think that a kinect for Xbox360 is usually used on ROS. But, I found an article for Kinect for Windows on Ubuntu12.04 on this URL( http://choorucode.com/2013/07/23/how-... ). As far as I read the artcle, your problem seems to be drivers. For example, OpenNI 1.x is recommended on the article. It's not OpenNI 2.x. If you will install it, you might have other problems in the future. I recommend you to buy a kinect for XBox360.

to get the code is workable but installing the code .sr1@sr1-ThinkPad-T430:~/SensorKinect/Platform/Linux/Redist$ cd Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.2.1/ .bash: cd: Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.2.1/: No such file or directory .sr1@sr1-ThinkPad-T430:~/SensorKinect/Platform/Linux/Redist $ sudo ./install.sh .sudo: ./install.sh: command not found Thanks for the help but is still not able to work.

You said that you installed the code. What does No such file or directory mean? I think that It's a meaning of not downloading or not compiling. I'm sorry but I have something wrong?

@Rizwan, Can you check your OpenNI version? Do you install SensorKinect drivers only? OpenNI 1.x is important!

Could you tell me command you input on a terminal?

~/SensorKinect/Platform/Linux/Redist
cd Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.2.1/
.bash
cd  Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.2.1/

when i key in "$ sudo ./install.sh", this command in the terminal gives me "no such files or directory".

i followed the steps but the last part at sudo ./install.sh is not working.

Can you check what describe in install.sh? and Can you look for files that install.sh points out in the folder you downloaded? This depends whether you understand Linux. This is not a problem on ROS.
