Installation Notes
Windows
Simply download and start the executable to launch the installer. After installation you can find all Ensenso tools in the start menu.
Note that EnsensoSDK 2.0 to 2.2 depends on the Wibu CodeMeter runtime which will be installed automatically if necessary.
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)
The .deb files need to be installed using the Debian package manager.
You can simply double-click the downloaded files to start installing. When using the command line the installation can be started by running "dpkg -i <filename>" as root. After installing the packages you can run the executables nxView, nxTreeEdit and nxCalTab from the command line.
Linux (other)
Using EnsensoSDK on other Linux distributions is currently not officially supported, but if you're willing to experiment yourself we provide archives with the binaries here. After downloading the archive you need to install the software manually. Please see the included Readme file for further instructions. All Linux binaries depend on libc6.
Nvidia Jetson
The .deb files need to be installed using the Debian package manager, just like the x64 version. Please also have a look at the Nvidia Jetson Installation topic in the manual.

Installing the uEye driver is only necessary for N-series and 1MP X-series (1CP/1FA) cameras. The currently recommended uEye driver release is 4.96.1. Please use the download links below to download the correct version for your platform.
