3.2 Ubuntu Installation
Spinnaker is available for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
1. Download the appropriate version of Spinnaker SDK from
https://www.flir.com/products/spinnaker-sdk/
2. Unpack the tar.gz file for the appropriate system architecture.
3. Follow the README directions to install necessary dependencies and then run the installer
script.
4. It’s necessary to configure the ethernet card that the Boson is plugged into. It might be
necessary to find which ethernet card the Boson is plugged into. To do this run ‘ifconfig’ with
the ethernet cable unplugged then reconnect the ethernet cable and run ‘ifconfig’ again. You
should see a change in one of the ethernet cards.
5. Now configure that ethernet card by opening the network interfaces file with your favorite
text editor.
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
Add the following lines (make sure to change enp15s0 to the appropriate card name
found by running ifconfig)
