Software Installation

Windows

1. Download and run the latest Zivid Software installer.

2. If you are using HALCON, check the option to install GenICam GenTL Producer (Experimental).

   

3. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

   Note

   If you run into issues, you may need to install or update GPU drivers.

4. Proceed to Network Configuration.

Ubuntu

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

1. Create a temporary folder:

   mkdir Zivid && cd Zivid
   

2. Download all deb packages:

   Ubuntu 18.04

   Note

   Support for Ubuntu 18.04 is removed since SDK 2.10. To see Ubuntu 18.04 instructions for an earlier SDK version, change the Knowledge Base version in the top left corner.

   Caution

   GenICam/HALCON support is experimental.

3. Install all packages:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install ./*.deb
   

4. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

   Note

   If you run into issues, you may need to install or update GPU drivers.

5. Proceed to Network Configuration.

Jetson Linux

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

1. Create a temporary folder:

   mkdir Zivid && cd Zivid
   

2. Download all deb packages:

   Note

   The JetPack SDK version you use, if you use JetPack, determines which Zivid deb packages to install.

   • JetPack SDK 5 includes Nvidia Jetson Linux 35 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04.

   • JetPack SDK 6 includes Nvidia Jetson Linux 36 which is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

   For newer Jetson hardware or JetPack versions not listed here, contact support; the existing arm64 package may still work.

   Ubuntu 22.04

3. Install all packages:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install ./*.deb
   

4. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

5. Set the Jetson to maximum performance mode:

   Note

   By default, Jetson Orin boards may boot in a reduced power profile that underclocks the GPU and limits the number of active streaming multiprocessors. This can roughly double the point cloud processing time observed by Zivid SDK compared to the maximum power profile (MAXN).

   To enable MAXN and lock all clocks to their highest frequencies, run:

   sudo nvpmodel -m 0 && sudo jetson_clocks
   

   You can confirm the current power profile with:

   sudo nvpmodel -q
   

   For more information, see NVIDIA’s official Jetson power management documentation.

6. Proceed to Network Configuration.
