Install Hotdoc

sudo -H pip3 install hotdoc

Once the requirement above is fulfilled, proceed with the installation of the tarball. RidgeRun should've provided you with the following compressed tar package/s:

gst-rr-panoramaptz-eval.tar

Extract the contents of the file with the following command:

gst-rr-panoramaptz-eval/
├── configuration.sh
├── environment.sh
├── example
...

Execute the test environment configuration script:

cd gst-rr-panoramaptz-eval
./configuration.sh

Clean the GStreamer registry

rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/*

Finally validate that the installation was successful with the following command, you should see the inspect output for the evaluation binary.

gst-inspect-1.0 rrpanoramaptz
