    I would like to use gphoto2 to operate a DSLR camera on our drone. I see that our VOXL2 came with voxl-gphoto2-server on it, but is there a way to use the base gphoto2 commands? Where is it installed (if it is) and can I use simple commands like gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download?

    If it is not installed - can you please give instructions on the easiest way to get gphoto2 installed on the VOXL2 without connecting it to the internet. We have a requirement that it stay offline so it would need to be installed through the host computer.

    Thank you!

      @restore You can install it in the same way you would any other apt installable package (which would require internet)

      or if you really are never going to connect the VOXL 2 to the internet then you could download the source, push it onto the voxl, and build it on target.

        @tom is voxl-gphoto2-server using the whole gphoto2 package? Or is it a custom build of gphoto2?

          @restore I would recommend taking a look at the source here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-gphoto2-server

          It is built using the headers from voxl-libgphoto2: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/third-party/voxl-libgphoto2
