Install Zivid on 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:

   Note

   Since SDK 2.18 the main Zivid package is split by GPU compute backend: zivid-cuda (CUDA) and zivid-opencl (OpenCL). Select the tab for the backend matching your GPU.

   CUDA

   Note

   The CUDA backend requires an NVIDIA driver that supports CUDA 12 or newer. See About GPU to install a supported driver.
