Installation in Linux |
|
********************* |
|
These steps have been tested for Ubuntu 10.04 but should work with other distros as well. |
|
|
|
Required Packages |
|
================= |
|
|
|
* GCC 4.4.x or later. This can be installed with: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential |
|
|
|
* CMake 2.6 or higher; |
|
* Git; |
|
* GTK+2.x or higher, including headers (libgtk2.0-dev); |
|
* pkgconfig; |
|
* Python 2.6 or later and Numpy 1.5 or later with developer packages (python-dev, python-numpy); |
|
* ffmpeg or libav development packages: libavcodec-dev, libavformat-dev, libswscale-dev; |
|
* [optional] libdc1394 2.x; |
|
* [optional] libjpeg-dev, libpng-dev, libtiff-dev, libjasper-dev. |
|
|
|
All the libraries above can be installed via Terminal or by using Synaptic Manager. |

|
Getting OpenCV Source Code |
|
========================== |
|
|
|
You can use the latest stable OpenCV version available in *sourceforge* or you can grab the latest snapshot from our `Git repository <https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git>`_. |
|
|
|
Getting the Latest Stable OpenCV Version |
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
* Go to our `page on Sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary>`_; |
|
|
|
* Download the source tarball and unpack it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Getting the Cutting-edge OpenCV from the Git Repository |
|
------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Launch Git client and clone `OpenCV repository <http://github.com/itseez/opencv>`_ |
|
|
|
In Linux it can be achieved with the following command in Terminal: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cd ~/<my_working _directory> |
|
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git |
|
|
|
|
|
Building OpenCV from Source Using CMake, Using the Command Line |
|
=============================================================== |
|
|
|
#. Create a temporary directory, which we denote as <cmake_binary_dir>, where you want to put the generated Makefiles, project files as well the object files and output binaries. |
|
|
|
#. Enter the <cmake_binary_dir> and type |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cmake [<some optional parameters>] <path to the OpenCV source directory> |
|
|
|
For example |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cd ~/opencv |
|
mkdir release |
|
cd release |
|
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .. |
|
|
|
#. Enter the created temporary directory (<cmake_binary_dir>) and proceed with: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
make |
|
sudo make install |
|
|
|
.. note:: |
|
|
|
If the size of the created library is a critical issue (like in case of an Android build) you can use the ``install/strip`` command to get the smallest size as possible. The *stripped* version appears to be twice as small. However, we do not recommend using this unless those extra megabytes do really matter. |
