Step-by-Step Guide to Install OpenCV from opencv-4.10.0.

zip
1. Unzip the Downloaded File:
• Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the ZIP file and unzip it:
bash
Copy code
unzip opencv-4.10.0.zip
cd opencv-4.10.0

2. Install Required Dependencies:


• Before building OpenCV, install the necessary build dependencies:
bash
Copy code
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git libgtk2.0-dev pkg-
config libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt install -y python3-dev python3-numpy libtbb2 libtbb-dev
libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev
sudo apt install -y libdc1394-22-dev libopenexr-dev libgstreamer-
plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev

3. Create a Build Directory:


• Inside the extracted OpenCV directory, create a separate directory for the build files:
bash
Copy code
mkdir build
cd build

4. Configure OpenCV with CMake:


• Use cmake to set up the build configuration. The command below sets OpenCV for
Python 3 and enables some popular libraries and optimizations:
bash
Copy code
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
-D WITH_TBB=ON \
-D WITH_V4L=ON \
-D WITH_QT=ON \
-D WITH_OPENGL=ON \
-D OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON \
..

5. Build OpenCV:
• Once CMake completes configuration, build OpenCV using make. This can take
some time:
bash
Copy code
make -j$(nproc) # Adjust $(nproc) to use all CPU cores for faster
compilation
6. Install OpenCV:
• After the build process completes, install OpenCV to your system:
bash
Copy code
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

7. Verify the Installation:


• Check if OpenCV installed correctly by running:
bash
Copy code
pkg-config --modversion opencv4

• If you’re using Python, you can also check in a Python shell:


python
Copy code
python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"

After completing these steps, OpenCV should be successfully installed and ready for use on your
Linux machine. Let me know if you run into any issues!
