#5: Finishing the installWe’re almost there! Just a few more things and we’ll be 100% done.For Python 2.7:Provided you finished Step #4 without error, OpenCV should now be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages :$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/total 1636-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 1675144 Oct 17 15:25 cv2.soNote: In some instances OpenCV can be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (note the dist-packages rather than site-packages ). If you do not find the cv2.so bindings in site-packages , be sure to check dist-packages as well.The last step here is to sym-link the OpenCV bindings into the cv virtual environment:$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.soFor Python 3:OpenCV should now be installed in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages :$ ls /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cv2.cpython-34m.soFor some reason, unbeknownst to me, when compiling the Python 3 bindings the output .so file is named cv2.cpython-34m.so rather than cv2.so .Luckily, this is an easy fix. All we need to do is rename the file:$ cd /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/$ sudo mv cv2.cpython-34m.so cv2.soFollowed by sym-linking OpenCV into our cv virtual environment:$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.soStep #6: Verifying your OpenCV 3 installAt this point, OpenCV 3 should be installed on your Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Jessie!But before we wrap this tutorial up, let’s verify that your OpenCV installation is working by accessing the cv virtual environment and importing cv2 , the OpenCV + Python bindings:$ workon cv$ python>>> import cv2>>> cv2.__version__'3.0.0'You can see a screenshot of my terminal below, indicating that OpenCV 3 has been successfully installed:Figure 5: OpenCV 3 + Python 3 bindings have been successfully installed on my Raspberry Pi 2 running Rasbian Jessie.TroubleshootingQ. When I try to use the mkvirtualenv or workon commands, I get an error saying “command not found”.A. Go back to Step #3 and ensure your ~/.profile file has been updated properly.

I’ll admit it: Compiling and installing OpenCV 3 on macOS Sierra was a lot more of a challenge than I thought it would be, even for someone who has a compiled OpenCV on hundreds of machines over his lifetime.If you’ve tried to use one of my previous tutorials on installing OpenCV on your freshly updated Mac (Sierra or greater) you likely ran into a few errors, specifically with the QTKit.h header files.And even if you were able to resolve the QTKit problem, you likely ran into more issues trying to get your CMake command configured just right.In order to help resolve any issues, problems, or confusion when installing OpenCV with Python bindings on macOS Sierra (or greater) I’ve decided to create two hyper-detailed tutorials:This first tutorial covers how to install OpenCV 3 with Python 2.7 bindings on macOS.My second tutorial will come next week where I’ll demonstrate how to install OpenCV 3 with Python 3.5 bindings on macOS.I decided to break these tutorials into two separate blog posts because they are quite lengthy.Furthermore, tuning your CMake command to get it exactly right can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re new to compiling from OpenCV from source, so I wanted to take the time to devise a foolproof method to help readers get OpenCV installed on macOS.To learn how to install OpenCV with Python 2.7 bindings on your macOS system, keep reading.The first part of this blog post details why I am creating a new tutorial for installing OpenCV 3 with Python bindings on the Mac Operating System. In particular, I explain a common error you may have run across — the QTKit.h header issue from the now deprecated QTKit library.From there, I provide super detailed instructions on how to install OpenCV 3 + Python 2.7 your macOS Sierra system or greater.Avoiding the QTKit/QTKit.h file not found errorIn the Mac OSX environment the QTKit (QuickTime Kit) Objective-C framework is used for manipulating, reading, and writing media. In OSX version 10.9 (Mavericks) QTKit was deprecated (source).However, it wasn’t until the release of macOS Sierra that much of QTKit was removed and instead replaced with AVFoundation, the successor to QTKit. AVFoundation is the new framework for working with audiovisual media in iOS and macOS.This created a big problem when compiling OpenCV on Mac systems — the QTKit headers were not found on the system and were expected to exist.Thus, if you tried to compile OpenCV on your Mac using my previous tutorials your compile likely bombed out and you ended up with an error message similar to this:fatal error: 'QTKit/QTKit.h' file not found#import ^ 1 error generated. make[2]: *** [modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/src/cap_qtkit.mm.o]Error 1 make[1]: ***[modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/all] Error 2 make: ***[all] Error 2Even more problematic, both the tagged releases of OpenCV v3.0 and v3.1 do not include fixes to this issue.That said, the latest commits to the OpenCV GitHub repo do address this issue; however, a new tagged release of v3.2 has yet to be released.That said, I’m happy to report that by using.

The name of the virtual environment. To exit the virtual environment, use the deactivate command.Once inside the virtual environment, you can now install OpenCV. Execute the command below.pip3 install opencv-pythonInstall OpenCV with pipFrom the image above, you can see we have successfully installed OpenCV version 4.5.1.48. That’s it! You are done with OpenCV installation. To test OpenCV in your project, skip to the Test section at the bottom of the article.Method 2: Install OpenCV from the sourceIf you need a full installation of OpenCV, which includes patented algorithms, then you should use this method. Unlike the pip install method, which only takes a couple of minutes, compiling OpenCV from the source can take around two (2) hours. Follow the steps below:Step 1. Activate your virtual environment with the workon command below.workon sbb_cvStep 2. Download the source code for both OpenCV and Opencv_contrib from Github. Use the wget commands below.wget -O opencv_contrib.zip -O opencv.zip you get an error like ‘wget command not found,’ then you will need to install it with the command – sudo apt install wgetStep 3. We need to unzip the contents of the two files we downloaded. Use the unzip command as shown below:unzip opencv.zipunzip opencv_contrib.zipStep 4. After extracting the zip files, we will have two folders – opencv-4.5.2 and opencv_contrib-4.5.1. Let’s rename these two to something memorable like opencv and opencv_contrib.mv opencv-4.5.2 opencvmv opencv_contrib-4.5.1 opencv_contribRename foldersStep 5. Compiling OpenCV can be quite heavy on the Raspberry Pi memory. To avoid freezing or hanging, we can increase the SWAP space and utilize all four cores of the Pi in the compiling process. To do so, we will edit the dphys-swapfile present in the /etc. directory. Execute the command below to open dphys-swapfile with the nano editor.sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfileFind the line – CONF_SWAPSIZE and set its value toopencv/cmake/OpenCVDownload.cmake at 4.x opencv/opencv
Sure you are in the cv virtual environment:$ workon cvFollowed by setting up the build:$ cd ~/opencv-3.0.0/$ mkdir build$ cd build$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \ -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \ -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \ -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib-3.0.0/modules \ -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..Update (3 January 2016): In order to build OpenCV 3.1.0 , you need to set -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF (rather than ON ) in the cmake command. There is a bug in the OpenCV v3.1.0 CMake build script that can cause errors if you leave this switch on. Once you set this switch to off, CMake should run without a problem.Before you move on to the compilation step, make sure you examine the output of CMake!Scroll down the section titled Python 2 and Python 3 .If you’re compiling OpenCV 3 for Python 2.7, then you’ll want to make sure the Python 2 section looks like this (highlighted) in red:Figure 3: Ensuring that Python 2.7 will be used for the compile.Notice how both the Interpreter and numpy variables point to the cv virtual environment.Similarly, if you’re compiling OpenCV for Python 3, then make sure the Python 3 section looks like this:Figure 4: Ensuring that Python 3 will be used for the compile.Again, both the Interpreter and numpy variables are pointing to our cv virtual environment.In either case, if you do not see the cv virtual environment for these variables MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE cv VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT PRIOR TO RUNNING CMAKE!Now that our build is all setup, we can compile OpenCV:$ make -j4Timing: 1h 35mThe -j4 switch stands for the number of cores to use when compiling OpenCV. Since we are using a Raspberry Pi 2, we’ll leverage all four cores of the processor for a faster compilation.However, if your make command errors out, I would suggest starting the compilation over again and only using one core:$ make clean$ makeUsing only one core will take much longer to compile, but can help reduce any type of strange race dependency condition errors when compiling.Assuming OpenCV compiled without error, all we need to do is install it on our system:$ sudo make install$ sudo ldconfigStepopencv/LICENSE at 4.x opencv/opencv - GitHub
OpenCV is an open-source Python library whose main focus is computer vision, image processing, and ML (Machine Learning). The OpenCV library plays a huge role in real-time systems. It is capable of identifying photographs and videos and identifying human faces too. When used together with libraries such as Numpy, it is capable of processing the OpenCV array structure. That enables identifying image patterns and features where we use vector space and mathematical operations.OpenCV is available for several platforms, including Linux and Windows. In this tutorial, however, we will be installing OpenCV on our Raspberry Pi 4.Installing OpenCV on Raspberry Pi 4There are two methods you can use:Compile OpenCV from source (highly recommended Raspberry installation)Install OpenCV using Python Pip.For those who have worked with OpenCV before, you know installing the library source can be quite a time-consuming and painstaking process. For Linux newbies, skipping a single step while executing the Terminal commands can lead to a fatal error. A solution to this is installing OpenCV via Python Pip. Pip is easier and much faster, but from experience, while working on several projects, I wouldn’t recommend it for a Raspberry installation. For large projects and even some educational projects, you would want to install OpenCV from the source. In this tutorial, we will look at both methods, and you can choose the one that works for you.RequirementsA Raspberry Pi 4 boardRaspberry Pi official operating systemAn active internet connectionA reliable power supplyBalena EtcherAt least 8GB SD cardWith the above items, you can install OpenCV over SSH without the need for a graphical display. Do you know you can actually enable ssh and connect to wifi without a monitor on Raspberry Pi? Check our post – Connecting to Wi-Fi & Enabling SSH Without Monitor on Raspberry Pi.If you prefer doing everything via the Pi’s.

2025-04-15All of our prerequisites installed, so let’s grab the 3.0.0 version of OpenCV from the OpenCV repository. (Note: As future versions of OpenCV are released just replace the 3.0.0 with the most recent version number):$ cd ~$ wget -O opencv.zip unzip opencv.zipTiming: 2m 29sFor the full install of OpenCV 3 (which includes features such as SIFT and SURF), be sure to grab the opencv_contrib repo as well. (Note: Make sure your opencv and opencv_contrib versions match up, otherwise you will run into errors during compilation. For example, if I download v3.0.0 of opencv , then I’ll want to download v3.0.0 of opencv_contrib as well):$ wget -O opencv_contrib.zip unzip opencv_contrib.zipTiming: 1m 54sStep #3: Setup PythonThe first step in setting up Python for our OpenCV compile is to install pip , a Python package manager:$ wget sudo python get-pip.pyTiming: 26sI’ve discussed both virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper many times on the PyImageSearch blog before, especially within these installation tutorials. Installing these packages is certainly not a requirement to get OpenCV and Python up and running on your Raspberry Pi, but I highly recommend that you install them!Using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper allows you to create isolated Python environments, separate from your system install of Python. This means that you can run multiple versions of Python, with different versions of packages installed into each virtual environment — this solves the “Project A depends on version 1.x, but Project B needs 4.x” problem that often arises in software engineering.Again, it’s standard practice in the Python community to use virtual environments, so I highly suggest that you start using them if you are not already:$ sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper$ sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/pipTiming: 17sAfter virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper have been installed, we need to update our ~/.profile file and insert the following lines at the bottom of the file:# virtualenv and virtualenvwrapperexport WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvssource /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.shYou can use your favorite editor to edit this file, such as vim , emacs , nano , or any other graphical editor included in the Raspbian Jessie distribution.
