Where are librealsense2.so and pyrealsense2.so copied to

  Hi, Step 5 is an optional step if you decide not to set a PYTHONPATH in Step 4.  If you prefer though to copy the librealsense2 and pyrealsense2 files next to your script, then you should place them in the same folder that your pyrealsense2 program script is located in. 

  For example, if I wrote a script called 'test.py' then the .so files would be copied into the same folder that I had put test.py in so that they are 'next to' the script..

  Can you confirm please that you did not set a PYTHONPATH in Step 4?  If you did, I wonder if Python is looking elsewhere other than your script folder for pyrealsense2.

  I did the fourth step, this is the result in usr/local/lib

  If you used export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib then it looks as though the path was set correctly.  I notice though that there are 3 different versions of pyrealsense2.so in your usr/local/lib directory (the last 3 files of the image).  What you could try is moving the last 2 files - so.2 and so.2.13.0 - out of this directory into another folder on your desktop for safekeeping.  If moving these 2 files out does not make a difference, you can then at least easily move them back into usr/local/lib again.

  I can't remove him, and if I use python2.7 instead of python3, will this be a mistake?

  It is not wrong to use the pyrealsense2 wrapper with Python 2.7.  The majority of people just prefer using Python 3 if they have it installed because it is the most modern version of Python.   If you are satisfied to use the wrapper with Python 2.7 then that is not a problem.
