Packaging¶

Kinect Forge can be packaged as a standalone desktop app using PyInstaller.

Linux (App folder)¶

python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev,packaging]
./scripts/package.sh

Artifacts are placed in dist/.

py -3 -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -e .[dev,packaging]
.\scripts\package.ps1

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev,packaging]
./scripts/package.sh

Packaging only bundles the GUI and offline tools. Kinect v1 capture is primarily supported on Linux.
If PyInstaller cannot find Tkinter, install your system's Tk packages.
For Open3D, PyInstaller may require extra hidden imports; see scripts/pyinstaller.spec.
CI packaging uses ci-helpers reusable workflows and builds Linux artifacts via ./scripts/package.sh.
