How to install Kalibr

I was confused about installing Kalibr, but there is no even one hint in README.md. I just put them in the catkin_ws, in which so many ROS packages are also there. Unsuccessfully, it can‘t be compiled one by one packages by the command catkin_make -DCATKIN_WHITELIST_PACKAGE="PACKAGE_NAME". It means a good choice is to build another ROS workspace in case of rebuilding others in the same workspace.
