Installing OpenCV from prebuilt binaries

  1. Below Python packages are to be downloaded and installed to their default locations.
    1.1. Python-2.7.x.
    1.2. Numpy.
    1.3. Matplotlib (Matplotlib is optional, but recommended since we use it a lot in our tutorials).
  2. Install all packages into their default locations. Python will be installed to C:/Python27/.
  3. After installation, open Python IDLE. Enter import numpy and make sure Numpy is working fine.
  4. Download latest OpenCV release from sourceforge site and double-click to extract it.
  1. Goto opencv/build/python/2.7 folder.
  2. Copy cv2.pyd to C:/Python27/lib/site-packeges.
  3. Open Python IDLE and type following codes in Python terminal.
    >>> import cv2
    >>> print cv2.__version__
    
If the results are printed out without any errors, congratulations !!! You have installed OpenCV-Python successfully.
