My backyard.: Installing OpenCV on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,
Today we are going to Install OpenCV on Ubuntu.
Here is list of our upcomming steps:

Lets start.

Run "Terminal"

Type "sudo apt-get update"

Type "sudo apt-get upgrade"

Type: "sudo apt-get install g++". We will use C++ compiler for our OpenCV projects

Type "sudo apt-get install cmake"

Type: "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"

Type: "sudo apt-get install python-numpy"

Go to your favorite browser and download OpenCV for Linux

Extact content into Home folder

Switch back to your terminal window

change directory to your newly extracted OpenCV folder. In my case it's "/Home/maks/opencv-2.4.6.1"

Type: "cd opencv-2.4.6.1"

Type: "cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ./"

Type: "make"

Type "sudo make install"

If you still don't have Eclipse IDE, then type "sudo apt-get install eclipse"

After eclipse have been successfully installed, we have to install CDT extension

Type: "sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt"

Type "eclipse" and you are ready to go.

That's all folks, now you can start Eclipse and write your awesome computer vision apps using OpenCV.
