opencv_mac_w_python2
| 0) Get Anaconda Python |
| 1) Download CMake for Mac and ensure you add the command line binaries to your PATH (sudo '/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui' --install) |
| 2) Download OpenCV |
| 3) cd into the OpenCV director and run `mkdir build` |
| 4) cd into the `build` director you just created and run the following: |
| Make sure you update the path to your own installation of Anaconda (i.e. replace 'sramanujam' in the following with your user name). |
| cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DBUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -DINSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/Users/sramanujam/anaconda/bin/python -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/Users/sramanujam/anaconda/include/python2.7/ -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/Users/sramanujam/anaconda/lib/libpython2.7.dylib -DPYTHON_NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIR=/Users/sramanujam/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/ -DPYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=/Users/sramanujam/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ -DBUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON |
| You should see the following in the console log which confirms that Python module will be build: |
| -- To be built: hal core flann imgproc ml photo video imgcodecs shape videoio highgui objdetect superres ts features2d calib3d stitching videostab python2 |
| 5) Run: make; sudo make install |
| 6) Switch to the Python directory (OPENCV_HOME/build/modules/python2) and run: |
| make |
| sudo make install |
| This will install cv2.so in your Python's site-packages directory |
| 7) Open up your Python REPL and import cv2, it should work |
| Here's a sample log (of the last couple of steps): |

Install Python 3 On Mac
OpenCV waitKey in python doesn't work on mac. I'm writing code to face recognition in python and i'm using open cv on mac (PyCharm). And then enter to complete. OpenCV is an open-source library for computer vision that we have found useful in bringing many applications to production settings. It is written in C, but now also supports Python bindings, which can make rapid prototyping easier. Below we summarize our procedure for installing OpenCV3 on Mac O.
