In this post we will see How to Install OpenCV in Ubuntu for C/C++ OpenCV is an image processing library created by Intel and later supported by Willow Garage and now maintained by Itseez. OpenCV means Intel® Open Source Computer Vision Library. Nov 28, 2016 - I struggled to build OpenCV on Mac OS Sierra because a package called. First of all, download and install CMake; Secondly download.
You are likely to be sorry if you casually started installing Python and like me. You might have read stuff online and tired installing python26 or python27 as well as numpy and opencv using macports hoping that your py scripts will conveniently import cv Of course then you must have gotten stuck while running your python files which don’t find the cv modules. You might be clawing your forehead and face with your nails because of this infernal message: ImportError: No module named cv Do not worry! You can do these things to be on your way: Step1A: Install a version of python You should have xcode installed on your mac. You can get it from the app store. There is a version of python that ships with Mac which is generally called the system python. Is is located in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python This is likely to be fairly old and you might want to instead get a more recent version from or use.
There is also a way to get it using Homebrew but I’d rather not get into that. Follow the prompts for prepackaged installer or use the following code from your terminal: $ sudo port install python27 Step1B: If you have already installed stuff, check what is installed where The prepackaged installers and Macports install python in certain different places. As noted earlier, system python is in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python. Indeed, you shouldn’t mess with these by trying to delete them manually.
The system python could be in use by other softwares in your computer. Python installed using a.dmg is in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/. You can manually remove the Python.framework folder.
You might also see Python in the Applications folder along with other things like IDLE, AppBuilder and PythonLauncher. You can just go ahead and delete those if you need to. Python installed using Macports is in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/. You can uninstall them by using sudo port uninstall packageName and if you want to remove dependencies use something like this code: sudo port uninstall python27 -follow-dependents installed. All additional libraries like NumPy, SciPy, PIL, openCV, etc. That you try to install using port will go to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages I checked each one’s version by explicitly typing their location: System python: $ /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys;print(sys.version)' 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05) GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. Build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00) Standard python using prepackaged installer from www.python.org: $ /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 -c 'import sys;print(sys.version)' 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr 9 2012, 20:32:06) GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc.
Build 5493) Latest python using Macports: $ /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 -c 'import sys;print(sys.version)' 2.7.3 (default, Apr 19 2012, 00:55:09) GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. Build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00) Default python accessed by terminal: $ python -c 'import sys;print(sys.version)' 2.7.3 (default, Apr 19 2012, 00:55:09) GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. Build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00) The alias python2.7 also points to the same place as python You can do the following things to make any version of python as default one your system however I opted to only use the version installed by Macports. This is explained bellow. Step2: Direct your terminal to look for the particular python installation you need From your terminal open your.bashprofile within TextEdit app: $ open -e.bashprofile Write this at the beginning of the file; this prepends to the PATH variable: export PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:$PATH Putting $PATH at the end of folder location rather than beginning will prepend to the PATH variable. Doing something like export PATH=$PATH/folderLocation/: would have appended it.

Then save the file and source it $ source.bashprofile From there onwards typing python in the terminal will open the very first one found by it which will be the version installed using Macports. Step3: Install NumPy and OpenCV You can see which port versions of a group are available by typing $ sudo port select -list python A bunch of versions of python were available to me but I need python27 to be used as default with my python packages so I made that one active: $ sudo port select -set python python27 OpenCV requires NumPy so I installed the two using Macports like so $ sudo port install py27-numpy $ sudo port install opencv +python27 Now you are ready to start using OpenCV with python.
Eventually you might need to install a newer version of these packages or even a new version of python. The packages can be updated like this $ sudo port upgrade installed For more information on using port and installing or uninstalling packages you can open its man pages: $ man 1 port You can then install Distribute, PIP and VirtualEnv for convenience.
Installing OpenCV on Mac OSX has always been a tough issue for me and for this reason that I start to write this post based on my experience. In this post, I will guide you through installing from package. To start with you may download latest or stable version of opencv from and choose OpenCV for Linux/Mac. Besides, you also need to install CMake prior to installing OpenCV package. For instruction on how to install CMake on Mac OSX, you may find. You can then follow these steps: 1. Extract downloaded OpenCV package 2.
Start terminal, navigate to the extracted package, then use the following commands: mkdir release cd release cmake -D CMAKEBUILDTYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKEINSTALLPREFIX=/usr/local. If you are on Mavericks, you may need to disable QUICK TIME by adding “-D WITHQUICKTIME=OFF” as below: mkdir release cd release cmake -D CMAKEBUILDTYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKEINSTALLPREFIX=/usr/local -D WITHQUICKTIME=OFF. Then, you can continue with the following commands (Still in Terminal): make sudo make install When you are done with these, you can now start testing by creating a command line tool project in xcode using C as below: 1) Create a new project File New.
Project Command Line Tools add in a product name and choose Type as “C” 2) Click on the Project Name on the panel on the left. Project settings will show up on the right hand side.
Choose the “Build Settings” tab. Between “BASIC” and “ALL”, choose “ALL”.
Search for “HEADERSEARCHPATHS” then add “/usr/local/include”. 3) Now, search for “LIBRARYSEARCHPATHS” and as shown below, add “/usr/local/lib” to it.
4) Next, right click on the project and choose “Add Files To ProjectName”. On a new pop up dialog go to your installed OpenCV folder (i.e.
Release folder in the extracted opencv directory) by typing “/” followed by directory, then go to lib folder, select “libopencvcore.dylib” and “libopencvhighgui.dylib” to add (You may add other libraries as needed by your code). You are now ready to test by including header files (#include ), write some code, and run. Hope you enjoy and find this post useful!
