Over the past two years running the PyImageSearch blog, I’ve authored two tutorials detailing the required steps to install OpenCV (with Python bindings) on Ubuntu. You can find the two tutorials here: • • However, with support of Ubuntu 14.04 winding down and Ubuntu 16.04 set as the next LTS (with support until April 2021), I thought it would be appropriate to create a new, updated Ubuntu + OpenCV install tutorial. Inside this tutorial, I will document, demonstrate, and provide detailed steps to install OpenCV 3 on Ubuntu 16.04 with either Python 2.7 or Python 3.5 bindings.

Pycairo is a Python module providing bindings for the cairo graphics library. It depends on cairo >= 1.13.1 and works with Python 2.7+ as well as Python 3.3+. Pycairo, including this documentation, is licensed under the LGPLv2.1 as well as the MPLv1.1. The Pycairo bindings are designed to match the cairo C API as closely. Cairo Tutorial for Python Programmers. PyCairo to join the previous two. The C translation has been adopted by the cairo project as its tutorial. Pip-Win is a tiny python package manager with virtualenv that is super easy to install on Windows pyDatalog. Datalog tutorial. Pip for Windows.

Furthermore, this document has been fully updated from my previous Ubuntu 14.04 tutorials to use the latest, updated packages from the apt - get repository. To learn how to install OpenCV on your Ubuntu 16.04 system, keep reading. Note: Don’t care about Python bindings and simply want OpenCV installed on your system (likely for C++ coding)?

No worries, this tutorial will still work for you. Follow along with the instructions and perform the steps — by the end of this article you’ll have OpenCV installed on your system.

From there, just ignore the Python bindings and proceed as usual. Ubuntu 16.04: How to install OpenCV Before we get into this tutorial, I want to mention that Ubuntu 16.04 actually ships out-of-the-box with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 installed. The actual versions (as of 24 October 2016) are: • Python 2.7. Romancing Saga Iso Ps2 J. 12 (used by default when you type python in your terminal). Microsoft 2010 User Guide. • Python 3.5.2 (can be accessed via the python3 command). Again, it’s worth repeating that Python 2.7 is still the default Python version used by Ubuntu. There are and use Python 3 by default; however, as far as I can tell, we are still a long way from that actually becoming a reality. In either case, this tutorial will support both Python 2.7 and Python 3.
