-    sudo apt install python-rosinstall ipython python-software-properties \
-            python-git ipython python-catkin-tools
-    sudo apt install libopencv-dev ros-melodic-vision-opencv
+Install Kalibr following the instructions at:
 
-# Install pip and use it to install python packages
+https://github.com/ethz-asl/kalibr
 
-We assume that Python 2 is used.
-
-    curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
-    sudo python get-pip.py
-    sudo -H pip install testresources
-    sudo -H pip install python-igraph==0.8 --upgrade
-    sudo -H pip install  numpy==1.15.0 opencv-python==4.2.0.32
-
-If necessary, pip and the other packages can be installed in user
-space. The PYTHONPATH may need to be set for such packages.
-The pip flags --user, --force, and --verbose may be useful.
-
-Kalibr uses Python 2, and many packages are transitioning to Python 3,
-so some effort may be needed to install the Python 2 dependencies.
