from： http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2016/10/24/ubuntu-16-04-how-to-install-opencv/

Step #1: Install OpenCV dependencies on Ubuntu 16.04

Most (in fact, all) steps in this tutorial will be accomplished by using your terminal. To start, open up your command line and update the apt-get  package manager to refresh and upgrade and pre-installed packages/libraries:

Next, let’s install some developer tools:

The pkg-config  package is (very likely) already installed on your system, but be sure to include it in the above apt-get  command just in case. The cmake  program is used to automatically configure our OpenCV build.

OpenCV is an image processing and computer vision library. Therefore, OpenCV needs to be able to load various image file formats from disk such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc. In order to load these images from disk, OpenCV actually calls other image I/O libraries that actually facilitate the loading and decoding process. We install the necessary ones below:

Okay, so now we have libraries to load images from disk — but what about video? Use the following commands to install packages used to process video streams and access frames from cameras:

OpenCV ships out-of-the-box with a very limited set of GUI tools. These GUI tools allow us to display an image to our screen ( cv2.imshow ), wait for/record keypresses ( cv2.waitKey ), track mouse events ( cv2.setMouseCallback ), and create simple GUI elements such as sliders and trackbars. Again, you shouldn’t expect to be building full-fledged GUI applications with OpenCV — these are just simple tools that allow you to debug your code and build very simple applications.

Internally, the name of the module that handles OpenCV GUI operations is highgui . Thehighgui  module relies on the GTK library, which you should install using the following command:

Next, we install libraries that are used to optimize various functionalities inside OpenCV, such as matrix operations:

We’ll wrap up Step #1 by installing the Python development headers and libraries for both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 (that way you have both):

Note: If you do not install the Python development headers and static library, you’ll run into issues during Step #4 where we run cmake  to configure our build. If these headers are not installed, then the cmake  command will be unable to automatically determine the proper values of the Python interpreter and Python libraries. In short, the output of this section will look “empty” and you will not be able to build the Python bindings. When you get to Step #4, take the time to compare your output of the command to mine.

Step #2: Download the OpenCV source

At the time of this article’s publication, the most recent version of OpenCV is 3.1.0 , which we download a .zip  of and unarchive using the following commands:

When new versions of OpenCV are released you can check the official OpenCV GitHub and downloaded the latest release by changing the version number of the .zip .

However, we’re not done downloading source code yet — we also need the opencv_contribrepository as well:

Why are we bothering to download the contrib repo as well?

Well, we want the full install of OpenCV 3 to have access to features (no pun intended) such as SIFT and SURF. In OpenCV 2.4, SIFT and SURF were included in the default installation of OpenCV. However, with the release of OpenCV 3+, these packages have been moved to contrib, which houses either (1) modules that are currently in development or (2) modules that are marked as “non-free” (i.e., patented). You can learn more about the reasoning behind the SIFT/SURF restructuring in this blog post.

Note: You might need to expand the commands above using the “<=>” button during your copy and paste. The .zip  in the 3.1.0.zip  may be cutoff in smaller browser windows. For convenience, I have included the full URL of both the opencv  archive as well as theopencv_contrib  archive below:

I also want to mention that both your opencv  and opencv_contrib  versions should be the same (in this case, 3.1.0 ). If the versions numbers do not matchup, you could very easily run into compile time errors (or worse, runtime errors that are near impossible to debug).

Step #3: Setup your Python environment — Python 2.7 or Python 3

We are now ready to start configuring our Python development environment for the build. The first step is to install pip , a Python package manager:

I’ve mentioned this in every single OpenCV + Python install tutorial I’ve ever done, but I’ll say it again here today: I’m a huge fan of both virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. These Python packages allow you to create separate, independent Python environments for eachproject that you are working on.

In short, using these packages allows you to solve the “Project X depends on version 1.x, but Project Y needs 4.x dilemma. A fantastic side effect of using Python virtual environments is that you can keep your system Python neat, tidy, and free from clutter.

While you can certainly install OpenCV with Python bindings without Python virtual environments, I highly recommend you use them as other PyImageSearch tutorials leverage Python virtual environments. I’ll also be assuming that you have both virtualenv  and virtualenvwrapper  installed throughout the remainder of this guide.

If you would like a full, detailed explanation on why Python virtual environments are a best practice, you should absolutely give this excellent blog post on RealPython a read. I also provide some commentary on why I personally prefer Python virtual environments in the first half of this tutorial.

Again, let me reiterate that it’s standard practice in the Python community to be leveraging virtual environments of some sort, so I suggest you do the same:

Once we have virtualenv  and virtualenvwrapper  installed, we need to update our~/.bashrc  file to include the following lines at the bottom of the file:

The ~/.bashrc  file is simply a shell script that Bash runs whenever you launch a new terminal. You normally use this file to set various configurations. In this case, we are setting an environment variable called WORKON_HOME  to point to the directory where our Python virtual environments live. We then load any necessary configurations fromvirtualenvwrapper .

To update your ~/.bashrc  file simply use a standard text editor. I would recommend usingnano , vim , or emacs . You can also use graphical editors as well, but if you’re just getting started, nano  is likely the easiest to operate.

A more simple solution is to use the cat  command and avoid editors entirely:

After editing our ~/.bashrc  file, we need to reload the changes:

Note: Calling source  on .bashrc  only has to be done once for our current shell session. Anytime we open up a new terminal, the contents of .bashrc  will be automatically executed (including our updates).

Now that we have installed virtualenv  and virtualenvwrapper , the next step is to actually create the Python virtual environment — we do this using the mkvirtualenv  command.

But before executing this command, you need to make a choice: Do you want to use Python 2.7 or Python 3?

The outcome of your choice will determine which command you run in the following section.

Creating your Python virtual environment

If you decide to use Python 2.7, use the following command to create a Python 2.7 virtual environment:

Otherwise, use this command to create a Python 3 virtual environment:

Regardless of which Python command you decide to use, the end result is that we have created a Python virtual environment named cv  (short for “computer vision”).

You can name this virtual environment whatever you like (and create as many Python virtual environments as you want), but for the time bing, I would suggest sticking with the cv  name as that is what I’ll be using throughout the rest of this tutorial.

Verifying that you are in the “cv” virtual environment

If you ever reboot your Ubuntu system; log out and log back in; or open up a new terminal, you’ll need to use the workon  command to re-access your cv  virtual environment. An example of the workon  command follows:

To validate that you are in the cv  virtual environment, simply examine your command line — if you see the text (cv)  preceding your prompt, then you are in the cv  virtual environment:

Figure 1: Make sure you see the “(cv)” text on your prompt, indicating that you are in the cv virtual environment.

Otherwise, if you do not see the cv  text, then you are not in the cv  virtual environment:

Figure 2: If you do not see the “(cv)” text on your prompt, then you are not in the cv virtual environment and need to run the “workon” command to resolve this issue.

To access the cv  virtual environment simply use the workon  command mentioned above.

Install NumPy into your Python virtual environment

The final step before we compile OpenCV is to install NumPy, a Python package used for numerical processing. To install NumPy, ensure you are in the cv  virtual environment (otherwise NumPy will be installed into the system version of Python rather than the cv  environment). From there execute the following command:

 

Step #4: Configuring and compiling OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.04

At this point, all of our necessary prerequisites have been installed — we are now ready to compile and OpenCV!

But before we do that, double-check that you are in the cv  virtual environment by examining your prompt (you should see the (cv)  text preceding it), and if not, use the workon  command:

After ensuring you are in the cv  virtual environment, we can setup and configure our build using CMake:

The above commands change directory to ~/opencv-3.1.0 , which if you have been following this tutorial is where you downloaded and unarchived the .zip  files.

Note: If you are getting an error related to stdlib.h: No such file or directory during either the cmake  or make  phase of this tutorial you’ll also need to include the following option to CMake: -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF . In this case I would suggest deleting your build  directory, re-creating it, and then re-running CMake with the above option included. This will resolve the stdlib.h  error. Thank you to Carter Cherry and Marcin for pointing this out in the comments section!

Inside this directory we create a sub-directory named build  and change into it. The build  directory is where the actual compile is going to take place.

Finally, we execute cmake  to configure our build.

Before we move on to the actual compilation of OpenCV, make sure you examine the output of CMake!

To do this, scroll down the section titled Python 2  and Python 3 .

If you are compiling OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7 support, make sure thePython 2  section includes valid paths to the Interpreter , Libraries , numpy , andpackages path . Your output should be similar to mine below:

Figure 3: Ensuring that Python 2.7 will be used when compiling OpenCV 3 for Ubuntu 16.04.

Examining this output, you can see that:

  1. The Interpreter  points to the Python 2.7 binary in the cv  virtual environment.
  2. Libraries  points to the Python 2.7 library (which we installed during the final step of Step #1).
  3. The numpy  value points to our NumPy installation in the cv  virtual environment.
  4. And finally, the packages path  points to lib/python2.7/site-packages . When combined with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX , this means that after compiling OpenCV, we’ll find our cv2.so  bindings in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ .

Similarly, if you’re compiling OpenCV 16.04 with Python 3 support, you’ll want to ensure your Python 3  section looks similar to mine below:

Figure 4: Validating that Python 3 will be used when compiling OpenCV 3 for Ubuntu 16.04.

Again, notice how my Interpreter , Libraries , numpy  and packages path  have all been correctly set.

If you do not see the cv  virtual environments in these variable paths, it’s almost certainly because you are NOT in the cv  virtual environment prior to running CMake!

If that is indeed the case, simply access the cv  virtual environment by calling workon cv  and re-run the CMake command mentioned above.

Assuming your CMake command exited without any errors, you can now compile OpenCV:

The -j  switch controls the number of processes to be used when compiling OpenCV — you’ll want to set this value to the number of processors/cores on your machine. In my case, I have a quad-core processor, so I set -j4 .

Using multiple processes allows OpenCV to compile faster; however, there are times where race conditions are hit and the compile bombs out. While you can’t really tell if this is the case without a lot of previous experience compiling OpenCV, if you do run into an error, my first suggestion would be to run make clean  to flush the build, followed by compiling using only a single core:

Below you can find a screenshot of a successful OpenCV + Python compile on Ubuntu 16.04:

The last step is to actually install OpenCV 3 on Ubuntu 16.04:

 

Step #5: Finish your OpenCV install

You’re coming down the home stretch, just a few more steps to go and your Ubuntu 16.04 system will be all setup with OpenCV 3.

For Python 2.7:

After running sudo make install , your Python 2.7 bindings for OpenCV 3 should now be located in /usr/local/lib/python-2.7/site-packages/ . You can verify this using the ls  command:

Note: In some cases, you may find that OpenCV was installed in/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages  rather than /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  (note dist-packages  versus site-packages ). If your cv2.so  bindings are not in the site-packages  directory, be sure to check dist-pakages .

The final step is to sym-link our OpenCV cv2.so  bindings into our cv  virtual environment for Python 2.7:

 

For Python 3.5:

After running sudo make install , your OpenCV + Python 3 bindings should be located in/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ . Again, you can verify this using the ls  command:

I’ve been puzzled regarding this behavior ever since OpenCV 3 was released, but for some reason, when compiling OpenCV with Python 3 support, the output cv2.so  filename is different. The actual filename might vary for you, but it should look something similar tocv2.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so .

Again, I have no idea exactly why this happens, but it’s a very easy fix. All we need to do is rename the file:

After renaming cv2.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so  to simply cv2.so , we can sym-link our OpenCV bindings into the cv  virtual environment for Python 3.5:

 

Step #6: Testing your OpenCV install

Congratulations, you now have OpenCV 3 installed on your Ubuntu 16.04 system!

To verify that your installation is working:

  1. Open up a new terminal.
  2. Execute the workon  command to access the cv  Python virtual environment.
  3. Attempt to import the Python + OpenCV bindings.

I have demonstrated how to perform these steps below:

As you can see, I can import my OpenCV bindings into my Python 3.5 shell.

Below follows a screenshot of me utilizing the same steps outlined in this tutorial and importing OpenCV bindings into a Python 2.7 shell:

Figure 6: Ensuring that I can successfully import my Python + OpenCV bindings on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thus, regardless of which Python version you decide to use, simply follow the steps detailed in this tutorial and you’ll be able to install OpenCV + Python on your Ubuntu 16.04 system.

Once OpenCV has been installed, you can delete both the opencv-3.1.0  andopencv_contrib-3.1.0  directories (along with their associated .zip  files):

But again, be careful when running this command! You’ll want to make sure you have properly installed OpenCV on your system prior to blowing along these directories. Otherwise, you’ll need to restart the entire compile process!

Troubleshooting and FAQ

In this section, I address some of the common questions, problems, and issues that arise when installing OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.04.

Q. When I execute mkvirtualenv  or workon , I get a “command not found error”.

A. There are three primary reasons why you would be getting this error message, all of which are related to Step #3:

  1. First, make sure you have installed virtualenv  and virtualenvwrapper  using thepip  package manager. You can verify this by running pip freeze , examining the output, and ensuring that you see both virtualenv  and virtualenvwrapper  in the list of installed packages.
  2. Your ~/.bashrc  file may not be updated correctly. To diagnose this, use a text editor such as nano  and view the contents of your ~/.bashrc  file. At the bottom of the file, you should see the proper export  and source  commands are present (again, check Step #3 for the commands that should be appended to ~/.bashrc ).
  3. After editing your ~/.bashrc  file, you may have forgotten to source  it and reload its contents. Make sure you run source ~/.bashrc  after editing it to ensure the contents are reloaded — this will give you access to the mkvirtualenv  and workon  commands.

Q. Whenever I open a new terminal, logout, or reboot my Ubuntu system, I cannot execute the mkvirtualenv  or workon  commands.

A. See reason #2 from the previous question.

Q. When I (1) open up a Python shell that imports OpenCV or (2) execute a Python script that calls OpenCV, I get an error: Import Error: No module named cv2 .

A. Unfortunately, the exact cause of this error message is extremely hard to diagnose as there are multiple reasons this could be happening. In general, I recommend the following suggestions to help diagnose and resolve the error:

  1. Make sure you are in the cv  virtual environment by using the workon cv  command. If this command gives you an error, then see the first question in this FAQ.
  2. If after you’ve ensured your ~/.bashrc  file has been updated properly and source ‘d, then try investigating the contents of the site-packages  directory in your cv  virtual environment. You can find the site-packages  directory in~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/  or~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/  depending on your Python version. Make sure that (1) there is a cv2.so  file in this site-packages  directory and (2) that it’s properly sym-linked to a valid, existing file.
  3. Be sure to check the site-packages  (and even dist-packages ) directory for the system install of Python located in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/  and/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ , respectively. Ideally, you should have acv2.so  file there.
  4. If all else fails, check in your build/lib  directory of your OpenCV build. There shouldbe a cv2.so  file there (provided that both cmake  and make  executed without error). If the cv2.so  file is present, manually copy it into both the system site-packages  directory as well as the site-packages  directory for the cv  virtual environment.

So, what’s next?

Congrats! You now have a brand new, fresh install of OpenCV on your Ubuntu 16.04 system — and I’m sure you’re just itching to leverage your install to build some awesome computer vision apps…

…but I’m also willing to bet that you’re just getting started learning computer vision and OpenCV, and probably feeling a bit confused and overwhelmed on exactly where to start.

Personally, I’m a big fan of learning by example, so a good first step would be to have some fun and read this blog post on detecting cats in images/videos. This tutorial is meant to be very hands-on and demonstrate how you can (quickly) build a Python + OpenCV application to detect the presence of cats in images.

And if you’re really interested in leveling-up your computer vision skills, you should definitely check out my book, Practical Python and OpenCV + Case Studies. My book not only covers the basics of computer vision and image processing, but also teaches you how to solve real-world computer vision problems including face detection in images and video streams, object tracking in video, and handwriting recognition.
