Lyli (Lytro Linux) aims to provide an open source alternative to the Lytro Desktop.
The application has been tested only with the original Lytro camera, although the Lytro Illum may work, too.
- c++14 enabled compiler - tested with gcc 4.9
- libusb 1.0
- Qt 5 (Qt5Core, Qt5Widgets) - tested with Qt 5.4, required for GUI
- OpenCV
- Make sure requirements above are satisfied. In Ubuntu, you should be able to run following to install all at once:
sudo apt-get install gcc libusb-1.0-0-dev libqt5core5a libqt5widgets5 libjsoncpp-dev libopencv-dev- You might need these packages as well:
sudo apt-get install libtbb-dev hgsvn- Clone this repository, and create a "build" folder.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/hazirbas/lyli.git
cd lyli
mkdir build
cd build
- Then build with CMake.
cmake ..
make
If everything goes well, there should be a lyli executable in the build directory and lyli-qt in build/ui in case the Qt GUI was compiled.
Lyli requires direct access to the USB bus. This can be achieved either by running Lyli as root (not recommended), or by putting the provided 51-lytro.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ which enables non-root access to the camera.
There are two binaries build:
-
lyli - can be found in the top-level build directory, it provides basic command line access to camera
-
lyli-qt - GUI application that is build only if the required Qt5 packages are present. Provides most of the features
Most of the Lyli is licensed under LGPL v3, only the Qt GUI (in the ui/ subdirectory) is licensed under GPL v3.
