Installation

Someday I'll make this easy, but for now, it's slightly annoying.

OpenBCI

The current OpenBCI submodule is for a Python library that shouldn't require anything other than Python 2.7 and NumPy 1.7. See openvibe/README.md for more information.

From the NumPy website:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib ipython ipython-notebook python-pandas python-sympy python-nose

OpenViBE

We have to actually build OpenViBE. To do this, we first have to install some dependencies. They provide a script that can do this for us (though we'll eventually want to improve upon this, because it's…not great). It must be run from within the openvibe/scripts directory, for some reason. The only dependency listed for the script is GCC 4, although I'm skeptical of that.1

This will, of course, require root permissions.

cd openvibe/scripts
./linux-install_dependencies

With the dependencies installed, we can build OpenViBE. I've done some of the grunt work for you, but due to some questionable decisions by the maintainers of OpenViBE involving large files, I can't host my forked OpenViBE repository on GitHub. Instead, I've prepared a patch that can be applied to the OpenViBE submodule.

Let's apply the patch!

cd openvibe
git am ../0001-Make-suggested-modifications-to-config-files.patch

Now we can build the thing as normal.

cd openvibe/scripts
./linux-build

Et voilà! Assuming that succeeded, a local build of OpenViBE will be in openvibe/dist.

1All of the sample commands I give will assume you're running them from the root of the repository; alter the cd portions as needed if that's not the case.
