I get an error when trying to dowload libfreenect with pip
21:34 23 Jun 2026

I am following instructions on how to install gravbox v1.0. In the instructions, it says to download several python packages, which all worked except for libfreenect. libfreenect instead gave an error I have copied below.

user:~$ pip install libfreenect

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libfreenect (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for libfreenect

I tried using Gemini to help me, but it's solutions did not work, and I am worried it may push me the wrong way, or cause me to download packages that would cause errors.

Gemini Solutions:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get instal libfreenect

pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel

pip install cython setuptools

pip install freenect --no-build-isolation

I did run the above commands, so if that causes issues please consider that too. ;-;

python linux installation pip command-line
