Linux/Ubuntu - Xvisio SDK Download and Install Guide

Note：Since there is a translation layer between usb3.0 of the virtual machine and the hardware of the machine, it will cause instability and performance of usb communication, so it is not recommended to install and use xvisio sdk and devices in the VM.
