The downside is that determining the correct CMake paths to your Python interpreter, libraries, and include directories can be non-trivial, especially for users who are new to OpenCV/Unix systems. Over the past few weeks I have demonstrated how to compile OpenCV 3 on macOS with Python ( 2.7, 3.5) bindings from source.Ĭompiling OpenCV via source gives you complete and total control over which modules you want to build, how they are built, and where they are installed.Īll this control can come at a price though. 🙌 Leading developers and publishing technical content for over a decade 💜 Loves his wife ( Maedah) ❯ Read more about Ahmad Awais.Click here to download the source code to this post

If you don’t see that in the output, then we can be sure to set it as the default python symlink run the following: ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

It shows default python being symlinked to the brew installed python3. This should output something like the following: /usr/local/bin/python -> /usr/local/bin/python3 Run the following command: ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*

Now let’s create the right set of symlinks for Python 3.X so that it becomes the default python command in your macOS.

Run the following command in your terminal to install Python. The simplest way to get this working is to install Python via brew. bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL )' Step #2: Install Python with brew #

Install python with brew
