Installing pyrealsense2 on MacOS

Install homebrew if you don't already have it.

Step 1

Install tools required to compile RealSense Libraries.

brew install cmake libusb pkg-config

Step 2

Compile and install Intel RealSense libraries.

git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense to clone librealsense

cd librealsense (or cd into wherever you cloned)

mkdir build && cd build

cmake .. -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DBUILD_WITH_OPENMP=false -DHWM_OVER_XU=false -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=true -G Unix\ Makefiles -DCMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH="/usr/local/lib" -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3)

make -j4

sudo make install

Step 3

Distribute libraries to Python site-packages

cp wrappers/python/pyrealsense2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib

cp wrappers/python/pybackend2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib

cd $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib/ && ln -s pyrealsense2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so pyrealsense2.2.cpython-310-darwin.so

cd $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib/ && ln -s pyrealsense2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so pyrealsense2.cpython-310-darwin.so

cd $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib/ && ln -s pybackend2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so  pybackend2.2.cpython-310-darwin.so

cd $(dirname $(dirname $(which python3)))/lib/ && ln -s pybackend2.2.50.0.cpython-310-darwin.so  pybackend2.cpython-310-darwin.so
