How to install opencv(cv2) with python bindings in Linux - Ubuntu/Fedora


  1. Install gcc, g++/gcc-c++, cmake (apt-get or yum, in case of yum use gcc-c++)#apt-get install gcc, g++, cmake
  2. Downlaod latest opencv from openCV's website (http://opencv.org/downloads.html).
  3. Untar it #tar - xvf opencv-*
  4. Inside the untarred folder make a new folder called "release" (or any folder name) and run this command in it
    #"cmake -D
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON .."


    the ".." will pull files from the parents folder and will get the system ready for installation for your specific platform.
  5. in the release folder  (#cd release) run #make
  6. After about 3-4 mins (obviously could be faster on your machine) of make processing when its finished run #make install
That's it, now go to python and try ">>> import cv2" you should not get any error message.
I've tested it on python 2.7, should be virtually similar to python 3.x.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to publish more about this subject, it might not
be a taboo subject but typically people don't discuss these subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!

So, buy followers on twitter from such reputed companies and see your business growing at
fast pace. It allows you in one page to see your search, your Twitter
followers, allows you to shortens URLs and schedule tweets in
advance. If someone gets busted for having a fake account it is usually big news for five minutes then fades away.

No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out of range when a fantastic song comes on over
the vehicle radio. They also apparently believe that their customers who like a particular song they hear on the radio, are likely to purchase that song,
which could add to downloads from i - Tunes. There are many
websites that bring to people radio channels for their personal
entertainment.

I have a question about installation of opencv on ec2. I follow all the steps listed by you, and after #make install, it says completed! But if I type #yum list installed. the opencv does not list on the menu. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.
