I installed info-beamer-pi on a Pi 2 with Raspbian Jessie, making sure to install the dependencies listed in the readme using apt-get. Then, running ./info-beamer samples/hello or ./info-beamer samples/shader produces the following output:

./info-beamer samples/shader                                                                                                                         [needrestart: unknown][exit: 255]

info-beamer for the raspberry pi is free for private use. If you
would like to make use of this software in a commercial way, you
must buy a license which will support the continued development.
See https://info-beamer.com/pi for more information.  Thank you!

I fixed this by adding my user account to the video group:

$ sudo usermod -aG video fenhl

And then rebooting:

$ sudo reboot
