Intel® RealSense™ technology is becoming popular with developers, and along with the buzz comes numerous (and inevitable) questions regarding its functionalities. One of the most-asked questions is how to get the Intel® RealSense™ SDK running on a Mac*. The following step-by-step guide shows you how to run the SDK sample apps with an Intel® RealSense™ camera on a Mac through Boot Camp*.


Running an Intel® RealSense™ SDK Sample on a Macbook Air* through Boot Camp*

Getting Started

First, you’ll need the following:

  • Mac OS X* Yosemite
  • Apple Boot Camp 5.1.4 or later, which comes with your Mac install
  • Intel RealSense Camera (F200) and/or Intel RealSense Camera (R200)
  • Intel RealSense SDK (note that registration will be required to download the SDK)
  • 6GB+ USB drive for Windows* startup
  • Microsoft Windows 8.1 OS 64-bit Desktop Mode ISO image
  • Microsoft Media Feature Pack
  • Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010-2013 with service pack 1 or newer
  • USB3 Port

To determine if you have a 4th generation Intel® Core™ processor (code name Haswell) or later system, open Terminal and type the following command:

That should return something that looks like this:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5257U CPU @ 2.70GHz

If you’re not familiar with the Intel processor naming system, look at the 4-digit number after the i3/i5/i7. If the first digit (the “thousand’s place”) is a 4 or higher, then you are good to go. Also, to see the list of all the 4th generation and 5th generation processors, click the appropriate link.

Installing Windows Through Boot Camp

Use Cmd+space or click the top right-hand corner magnifying glass on the desktop to launch Spotlight* and plainly search “Boot Camp”. “Boot Camp Assistant” should subsequently appear.


Finding Boot Camp* Assistant through Spotlight*

The Boot Camp Assistant will transfer the Windows installation files from either an ISO file or a USB drive. At this point, Windows will install itself onto your Mac via the USB drive, along with the latest Windows drivers. The application will conveniently guide you through the course of resizing your Mac device’s current system partition and producing a Windows partition.


Installing Windows* through Boot Camp* Assistant

To begin, select the tasks you want to perform. It is recommended you leave all these options checked. However, if you already have a Boot Camp USB drive or have already partitioned your Mac, feel free to uncheck these options to speed the process up. This scenario is usually used by those who plan to install Windows on more than one Mac and have already made a USB drive.


Selecting tasks to perform on Boot Camp* Assistant

Next, point your Mac at the ISO file or USB drive. Insert a USB flash drive and select it. Please keep in mind that this drive will be deleted, so you should take precautions and back up valuable files.

Your Mac will now create the proper Windows installer drive; you should see the notification that reads “Copying Windows files.” Depending on your drive’s rate of speed, this process may take quite a while. It is common for the progress bar to periodically appear stagnant and unmoving; please be patient when this occurs.


Copying Windows* files to USB drive

When the process is complete and your Mac has successfully completed the creation of a USB installation drive, you will come across the “Create a Partition” screen. At this point, you may split your Mac system drive into two parts: one partition for Mac OS X and another for Windows. You can determine how much space to allot to your Windows system and OS X system—32GB or more is recommended for your Windows partition. If you have several hard disks on your Mac, you may choose to dedicate one specifically to Windows.

Unfortunately, Boot Camp Assistant will not be able to resize your partitions after the completion of this process; you will need to use a third-party tool to do so.


Partitioning Windows* drive

Windows will now complete the installation process. Afterwards, the Boot Camp installer will appear and install all appropriate Windows system hardware drivers and utilities.

When the Boot Camp installer completes its tasks, you can remove the USB drive. If you do not plan to perform the installation process on another Mac, you are done with your USB drive.

NTFS error

Since Boot Camp formats the Windows drive to FAT32 partition and Windows 8.1 only supports NTFS partition, you will probably receive the following error during installation:

Download

“Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.”

Make sure you select the “BOOTCAMP” partition. You should have a “format” option to click that will reformat the drive to NTFS so that you may continue the Windows installation process.

Installing the Intel® RealSense™ SDK on Boot Camp

You’ll notice that the process of installing the Intel RealSense SDK onto Boot Camp is the same as the usual Windows installation process.

Step 1: Plug your Intel RealSense Camera into one of the USB3 ports on your Mac.

Step 2: Follow the instructions on the Intel RealSense SDK download page to install the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera Manager (DCM), which includes the Camera Virtual Driver and Depth Camera Manager Service, and then the SDK.


Plugging the F200 camera into the USB3 port on the Macbook*

Step 3: Depending on the version of Windows 8.1, Media Feature Pack may not be included. Simply download it and continue the installation if needed. Media Feature Pack is required for the installation of the Intel RealSense SDK.

Step 4: When the SDK is installed, try running the Samples Apps. You can find them in a desktop icon folder called “Intel RealSense SDK 2014.” The directory’s name is C:Program Files (x86)IntelRSSDKsample if the SDK is installed in the default location.


Running the SDK Sample on Macbook Air*

Step 5: Code samples can be modified and used through Visual Studio.

And there you have it! Intel RealSense technology is officially running on your Mac.

That’s a Wrap

As you have gathered by now, the steps needed to successfully run Intel RealSense technology on a Mac are relatively straightforward and simple using the Apple Boot Camp application.

You can use other virtual machine tools such as Parallels, VMWare Fusion*, and Virtual Box, but the USB3’s simulation isn’t the same as running OS natively. Simply put, the installation can be still accomplished, but the camera will fail to load up.

Adobe AIR is a computer program known as a runtime. It is necessary to have Adobe AIR on your computer to run certain applications. Applications that require Adobe AIR are called Adobe AIR applications.

Most Adobe AIR problems are related to having the correct version of Adobe AIR. Before you begin troubleshooting your problem, get the latest version of Adobe AIR for your operating system. Adobe AIR is available for free.

Before you begin troubleshooting, perform the following tasks:

Determine the version of Adobe AIR on your computer

An Adobe AIR application requires a minimum version of Adobe AIR. Typically, the Adobe AIR application's installation program makes sure that your computer has the correct version of Adobe AIR. If necessary, the Adobe AIR application downloads and installs the latest version of Adobe AIR.

You can check which version of Adobe AIR is installed on your computer. To do so, follow the steps provided here.

However, you can get an older version of Adobe AIR here.

The installation program installs Adobe AIR at the following location:

  • /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/

The Adobe AIR installation log file can help you troubleshoot your installation problem. You can also use the log's contents if you post a question to the Adobe AIR installation issues forum.

For Adobe AIR 1.0 to 1.5.3, see this document for more information.

You can get the contents of the install log using the following steps:

Mac OS X
  1. Open the Console application from the Applications/Utilities folder.
  2. Select System.log from the log list on the left.
  3. In the String Matching filter field, type Adobe AIR.
  4. Select all, and then copy and paste into a text file.

The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.

The .airappinstall.log file can reveal the specific issue. The Adobe AIR application installer could've found an instance of Adobe AIR or the Adobe AIR application on a mounted drive other than main drive. Time Machine (10.5.x) could have a backup of the application. Unmount drives other than main drive and retry installation.

It's possible that the Adobe AIR application didn't download from the website completely. Retry downloading the Adobe AIR application (the .air file).

You could receive an invalid signature verification log error if the certificate used to sign the Adobe AIR application has expired.

The AIR Installer states it is already installed, or requires AIR. Can't install AIR

This error can occur if the installer is in a different language (Korean).

Mac users experienced this error in 1.1. A corrupt locale list could be the cause. Try moving languages in your locale language list or adding a language. Mac OS rebuilds locale settings.

The user interface / window does not appear when running an Adobe AIR application, the Adobe AIR installer, or the Adobe AIR uninstaller.

Check the locale settings to see if Latin American Spanish (es-419) is in the list. Incorrect settings trigger an esoteric bug that can cause the behavior described in the Adobe AIR installer and uninstaller, and in some Adobe AIR applications.

The Adobe AIR installer doesn't display a window when launched.

This issue appears to be a conflict with an internal Webkit library. Follow these steps to work around this problem:

  1. Download and mount the latest Adobe AIR installer from http://get.adobe.com/air
  2. Open the 'Terminal' application found in your Application/Utilities folder
  3. Copy and past the following command:
    sudo /Volumes/Adobe AIR/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer -silent -eulaAccepted
  4. After hitting enter, you will be prompted for your login password.
  5. Installation takes a few minutes. Look for output similar to the following:
  6. Once complete, close Terminal and install your Adobe AIR application.

During installation of Adobe AIR, you receive an error dialog with contents similar to 'An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator.'

Follow these steps for the manual solution:

  1. Using Finder, navigate to your Applications folder and look for a file (not a folder) named 'Adobe'. If one exists, rename or delete it.
  2. Open the Terminal application in your Applications/Utilities folder. Run the following commands:

Free Downloads Macbook Air

Next, adjust the ownership of a particular folder. Run the following two commands in Terminal, noting the user name response of the 'whoami' command. Replace username with your username in the next command:

  1. sudo chown -R username:staff ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/

Close the Terminal application and rerun the Adobe AIR installer.

During installation of Adobe AIR or an Adobe AIR application, you receive an error similar to the following:

'You cannot open the application Adobe AIR installer.app because it is not supported on this architecture.'

The Mac PowerPC is no longer supported by Adobe AIR. You can only install and use Adobe AIR applications that require AIR 1.5.3 or earlier. Use Adobe AIR version 1.5.3:

Download Adobe AIR 1.5.3 for MacOS.
