  1. brew install libfreenect
  2. Test with freenect-glview. If you get upload_firmware: failed to find firmware file. then run python /usr/local/Cellar/libfreenect/0.5.7/share/fwfetcher.py
  3. Download latest OpenNI and NiTE from http://download.dahoo.fr/Ressources/openNi/
  4. Extract OpenNI, run sudo ./install.sh
  5. Same for NiTE
  6. copy /usr/local/lib/libFreenectDriver.dylib to ./OpenNI-MacOSX-x64-2.2/Redist/OpenNI2/Drivers/
  7. Recursively copy ./OpenNI-MacOSX-x64-2.2/Redist/* to /usr/local/lib/
  8. Recursively copy ./NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2/Redist/* to /usr/local/lib/
  9. Run cat ./OpenNI-MacOSX-x64-2.2/OpenNIDevEnvironment >> ~/.bash_profile
  10. Run cat ./NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2/NiTEDevEnvironment >> ~/.bash_profile >> ~/.bash_profile
  11. Add OPENNI2 and NITE2 environment variables, pointing to the install dirs
  12. Make sure you're using Node 0.10.24 (nvm is your friend!). It will fail in newer versions.
