Invisible Piano (Keyboard Anywhere, a Kinect Piano)

Step 4Python

Python
The Keyboard Anywhere script is written in Python, which OpenKinect can't deal with in its regular installed state.  Happily, there is a Python Wrapper that allows the two to work together.

Thankfully, when you installed OpenKinect in your last step, it downloaded the python wrapper on your computer. The problem is that while it downloaded, it didn't install.

If you go to your home (where home is your username) directory: home/libfreenect/wrappers/python you'll see the information about the wrapper.  You can open the README to see instructions on installing.

For ease of time and those who like to copy-paste
$ sudo apt-get install cython python-dev python-numpy   [these need to be installed before we can install the python wrapper]

Navigate your way, in terminal, to the python folder. If you close and open terminal:
$ cd libfreenect/wrappers/python

and then install:
$ sudo python setup.py install
