In other cases plugins should be built separately in their own build procedure and this section describes such standalone build process. In some cases it is possible to build plugins together with OpenCV by setting options like VIDEOIO_PLUGIN_LIST or HIGHGUI_PLUGIN_LIST, more options related to this scenario can be found in the OpenCV configuration options reference. For now modules core, videoio and highgui support this mechanism for some of their dependencies. It helps to produce adaptive binary distributions which can work on systems with less dependencies and extend functionality just by installing missing libraries. It is possible to decouple some of OpenCV dependencies and make them optional by extracting parts of the code into dynamically-loaded plugins.

If the installation root location is a protected system directory, so the installation process must be run with superuser or administrator privileges (e.g. To clone repositories run the following commands in console ( git must be installed):Ĭmake -build -target install Note This step is optional, OpenCV can be used directly from the build directory.
#BREW INSTALL OPENCV ARCHIVE#
(optionally) Go to and download "Source code" archive for the same release as opencv.Go to and download "Source code" archive from any release.
#BREW INSTALL OPENCV FULL#
You can download a snapshot of repository in form of an archive or clone repository with full history. OpenCV have two repositories with code: opencv - main repository with stable and actively supported algorithms and opencv_contrib which contains experimental and non-free (patented) algorithms and one repository with test data: opencv_extra.
#BREW INSTALL OPENCV SOFTWARE#
Typical software project consists of one or several code repositories. Check OpenCV configuration options reference for available options and corresponding dependencies. Get other third-party dependencies: libraries with extra functionality like decoding videos or showing GUI elements libraries providing optimized implementations of selected algorithms tools used for documentation generation and other extras. Install CMake from the official site or some other source. XCode IDE is used to build software for OSX and iOS platforms.

#BREW INSTALL OPENCV FOR ANDROID#
Native toolchains for Android are provided in the Android NDK. On Windows it can be Visual Studio IDE or MinGW-w64 compiler. On *NIX platforms it is usually GCC/G++ or Clang compiler and Make or Ninja build tool. OpenCV uses CMake build management system for configuration and build, so this section mostly describes generalized process of building software with CMake. This section gives a high-level overview of the build process, check tutorial for specific platform for actual build instructions. It can happen that existing binary packages are not applicable for your use case, then you'll have to build custom version of OpenCV by yourself.

There are two ways of installing OpenCV on your machine: download prebuilt version for your platform or compile from sources. Next Tutorial: OpenCV configuration options reference
