For now, if you want to try the pre-release version of the app, you should compile it yourself by following the instructions below.\n\n### Dependencies\n- C++17 Compiler\n- GLFW\n- OpenGL ES \u003e3.0 or OpenGL \u003e3.3\n- LibAV \u003e12.3\n- CMake \u003e3.13\n- XCB (For Linux)\n- Xcode Toolchain (For macOS)\n\n#### Linux-Debian\nThis list will be reduced once Meson is implemented in the next version.\n```shell\n$ sudo apt install libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libglfw3-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev build-essential cmake git pkg-config python3 python3-pybind11 python3-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libboost-all-dev\n```\n\n#### macOS\nYou will need to compile Google's ANGLE OpenGL ES 3.0 for this to work on macOS. Thank Apple.\n\n### Compilation\n```shell\n$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/luigifreitas/kimera.git\n$ cd kimera\n$ mkdir build\n$ cd build\n$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..\n$ make -j\n$ sudo make install\n```\n\n## Usage\nCreate a server with the `/dev/video0` as input and localhost TCP as output.\n```shell\n$ kimera tx ../examples/linux.yml\n```\n\nReceive the video from the TCP server and display it on the screen.\n```shell\n$ kimera rx ../examples/linux.yml\n```\n\n## License\nThis module is distributed under a [GPL-2.0 License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luigifreitas/kimera/master/LICENSE).\n\n## Roadmap\nThis is a list of unfinished tasks that I pretend to pursue soon. Pull requests are more than welcome!\n- [ ] Replace current render with `librender`.\n- [ ] Replace CMake with Meson.\n- [ ] Better WebCodecs support.\n- [ ] Add WebTransport module.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fluigifcruz%2Fkimera","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fluigifcruz%2Fkimera","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fluigifcruz%2Fkimera/lists"}
