Python3 is already installed therefore, all we need to do now is to create a python virtual environment to keep things isolated. I am maximizing my use of python 3 which is what I will be using here. Sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortranĪlready done because python development headers are already installed Sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev Sudo apt-get install libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev Sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev Sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake unzip pkg-config If a dependency is already installed, then select not to reinstall it. Run each of the commands and follow the prompts. I installed OpenCV on that image therefore most of my dependencies were met. I am using the image created by the F123 project which as an accessible Arch Linux on the raspberry pi. I have created an Arch Linux mapping to the Ubuntu dependencies and have given the equivalent commands. The tutorial on installing OpenCV on the raspberry pi lists a series of dependencies. If you wanted to search for the package called build-essentials in Arch Linux, the search string you would use is "arch linux" in your search engine of choice to find the package names. The package names are different between Ubuntu and arch Linux.

The first thing you need to do is to install dependencies. Install OpenCV 4 on your Raspberry Pi Installing dependencies The bulk of this tutorial has been taken from the superb tutorial at This post has been inspired by the tutorials at PyImageSearch and Learn OpenCV. For example, you may not want any python bindings. Moreover, it allows you to customize your installation. This is the best way to install this library to ensure that you get the full set of features this library has to offer.

I am going to be showing you how to install the OpenCV computer vision library from source.
