HI! I'm trying to install opencv and use it with python, but when I compile it I get no errors but I can't import cv module from python:
patrick:release patrick$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named cv
The code I used to compile it is this:
cd opencv
mkdir release
cd release
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON
make
sudo make install
how can I get it working with python?
Start the Python shell by typing python3 and then hit enter. You will be inside the Python shell where you can execute your Python code. Import the cv2 package which is the name of the OpenCV module. Type “import cv2” and hit enter.
OpenCV can be installed using pip.
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install opencv
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
