0. Background
It is more troublesome to install pcl using source code because there are dependent libraries vtk, flann, boost, eigen, etc., which are not easy to install, so apt is used to install it.
The following content mainly refers to the blog "[Ubuntu] Install PCL on Ubuntu (install PCL/uninstall PCL/check PCL version/PCL error handling related operations) (the most detailed in history)"
1. The version installed by apt
Use the following command to check the current ubuntu version. Use apt to install the highest pcl version. Ubuntu 20 can only install the highest pcl version 1.10.
sudo apt-get install libpcl-dev
The results are as follows
2. Update apt source
Generally, this step can be ignored, but if you find that you cannot apt install pcl, then consider the source. My source (note, I am ubuntu 20, other versions of ubuntu, please find the corresponding source by yourself, it is very simple) is as follows
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Save the source below

The update operation is as follows
sudo apt-get update
3. apt installation command
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libpcl-dev
4. Test

If there is no problem, the following is version 1.10
