Installing OpenCV on OS X (using Homebrew)

gistfile1.md

Based on http://jjyap.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/installing-opencv-2-4-8-on-mac-osx-with-python-support/

1. edit .bashrc or .bash_profile to include: export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/:$PATH"
2. brew update
3. brew tap homebrew/science
4. brew install opencv
5. cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
6. ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.9/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv.py cv.py
7. ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.9/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.so

To verify, run python and try import cv2. If it doesn’t throw a No module named cv2 error, you’re good.

Thanks.

Here's my version of linking opencv with virtualenv-ed python, gist link

if "No module named cv2"?

Try to add the following line in ~/.bashrc
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
