Is Chaincoder IDE Compatible with Ubuntu 18.04?

I am learning hyperledger fabric and want to use an IDE for the same.While searching about it in google, i came across Chaincoder IDE, But according to the website, its only available for Windows 10(Pro or Enterprise) and MacOs. I am working in Ubuntu 18.04 so i want to know will it work in Ubuntu or not ?
The website is clear
There is an exe for Windows
a Zip for Macos
So no available version for Linux.
Downloading it was enough to answer your question.

How do install pyopencl using INDE instead of OpenCL SDK?

I'm a python newbie and I'm trying to install pyopencl. I've found Andreas Klöckner's website. And I'm trying to use the Windows 7 64bit, Python 2.7, Visual Studio 2010, Intel OpenCL SDK 1.5 directions to install. The problem is that Intel OpenCL SDK has been integrated into INDE. So I'm wondering what the equivalent library file is for C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\1.5\include and C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\1.5\lib\x64 ? After installing INDE, I didn't see anything under that specific file location.
Under C:\Intel\INDE, if I just look for folders that contain libraries I saw the code_builder_5.0.0.43 (contains OpenCL), IDEintegration (contains a bunch of stuff), the media_raw_accelerator_1.0.3, media_sdk_6.0.0.308. Anyone know which one I should be using?
It's 'C:\Intel\INDE\code_builder_5.0.0.43\include' and 'C:\Intel\INDE\code_builder_5.0.0.43\lib\x64'
Let me add a few points that could be useful to others who want to use PyOpenCL on Windows. First, if you are not a Python developer, you will want to use the Intel OpenCL Code Builder. When you install the INDE Suite, you integrate in Visual Studio and you get all the syntax highlighting amongst others. This video gives a great overview: http://bcove.me/xrcs5bze
The latest OpenCL 2.0 (as of time of writing) is now part of OpenCL Code Builder. In order to access the OpenCL framework to use with PyOpenCL, do the following installation on Windows (if not yet done):
Detailed instructions can be found here: http://wiki.tiker.net/PyOpenCL/Installation/Windows
Install Visual Studio
Install Python 2.7
Install NumPy
Install PyOpenCL
Install Intel INDE (OpenCL Code Builder component)
Once this is done, locate the siteconf.py file and edit accordingly. On my machine, I have INDE Update 2 which comes with OpenCL Code Builder 5.1.0.25 installed.
Thus, the following lines are edited:
CL_INC_DIR = [r'C:\Intel\INDE\code_builder_5.1.0.25\include']
CL_LIB_DIR = [r'C:\Intel\INDE\code_builder_5.1.0.25\lib\x64', r'C:\Intel\INDE\code_builder_5.1.0.25\lib\x86']
I hope that helped.

What should i use after OpenNI down?

As we know,the OpenNI and openni.org have been closed. But I need to use Kinect or Xtion to make a 3D scanner. what should I use now? I find that structure.io provides OpenNI 2, but I am not sure if it is compatible with those codes or driver using OpenNI.
Just use Kinect SDKs provided by Microsoft. You can definitely access all the functionality and there are many resources out there to get a quick start. I did a virtual dressing room project using only Kinect SDKs and XNA.

Kinect as a webcam with MS SDK

Is there any posibility of using Kinect as a WebCam? I know that I can do that with KinectCam.ax, but it's only available on OpenNI libraries. I use Microsoft Kinect SDK, because of my project... I tried to find something in Internet... Nothing interesting...
I need a WebCam and it's a stupidity to buy a new one, when I have Kinect o_O
Someone create the drivers to convert your kinect on a webcam. I test it, and works in Skype.
To install the kinect as a webcam download the 3 files (KinectCam.ax,install.bat, unistall.bat) in the Compiled folder here:
https://github.com/wildbillcat/KinectCam/
Execute the install.bat as Administrator. And that's all.
The author say that this works even in Windows 8.
You can get more info on this thread on msdn.

Kinect for Xbox Compatiable with OpenNI

I am using the Kinect for Xbox and I am planning on using the OpenNI framework along with the Point Cloud Library for processing but I am having trouble getting OpenNI to recognize my Kinect for Xbox and I wanted to make sure that it is actually compatible with the device.
For some reason I haven't been able to find any documentation on this exact topic.
PCL does indeed work with OpenNI. I've managed to easily compile the OpenNI Grabber Sample on Windows (using the All In One installer). I must admit I haven't managed the same on osx (had some issues with various versions of VTK being installed on the machine).
By the looks of it the issue doesn't look like it's on the PCL side, but on the OpenNI driver side. Can you run any of the samples ? If not, what error messages are you getting ?
I recommend cleaning up (uninstalling OpenNI, NITE, SensorKinect) and installing the unstable versions, but try installing in this order:
OpenNI 1.5.4.0
Nite 1.5.2.21
Avin's SensorKinect
Which version of OpenNI that you use?
If you use version 1.5.4, I think there is no problem because OpenNI interact directly with your Kinect Xbox.
However, if you use OpenNI version 2.x, it will interact with your device via Kinect SDK (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/kinectsdk/thread/a11ff6d9-7fbe-4636-8ff0-92d6220ac3f8/) Since there is no Kinect SDK on linux, you can't make OpenNI 2 to recognize your device.
