# Install opencv
sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

# Get location of latest .jar and .so
dpkg -L libopencv2.4-java | grep jar
dpkg -L libopencv2.4-jni  | grep .so

# Create directory for local repo
cd ~
mkdir opt
cd opt/
mkdir clj-opencv
cd clj-opencv/

# Create directory structure needed for localrepo
cp /usr/share/OpenCV/java/opencv-248.jar .
mkdir native
mkdir native/linux
mkdir native/linux/x86_64
cp /usr/lib/jni/libopencv_java248.so native/linux/x86_64/
jar -cMf opencv-native-248.jar native

# Install localrepo plugin 
vim ~/.lein/profiles.clj  # Add line below 
# {:user {:plugins [[lein-localrepo "0.5.3"]]}}

lein localrepo install opencv-248.jar opencv/opencv 2.4.8
lein localrepo install opencv-native-248.jar opencv/opencv-native 2.4.8

# To use within a clojure project add to project.clj dependencies
# (defproject app "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
#  :description "FIXME: write description"
#  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.7.0"]
#                 [opencv/opencv "2.4.8"]
#                 [opencv/opencv-native "2.4.8"] ])

# To use in REPL
# (clojure.lang.RT/loadLibrary org.opencv.core.Core/NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME)
