Installing Development Environment

• OpenCV Installation

I have used following website as my OpenCV installation guide. http://www.codebind.com/cpp-tutorial/install-opencv-ubuntu-cpp/ But I would like to make an alternative suggestion for Step 3 – Get OpenCV Do not clone git repository for OpenCV and OpenCV-contrib instead that use below repository releases

• opencv - https://github.com/opencv/opencv/releases
• opencv_contrib - https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/releases

Choose same release number in both links and download Source Code. Reason for this is Releases are a stable Delivery ready stable status of repositories but main repository on development stage so there is a chance that might break your build.

Installed using the Online installer from given link, which downloaded approximately over 6 GB.
