Install OpenCV on ubuntu 16.04

edit

I have anaconda distribution with python 3 in my /home/arun/anaconda3 folder.

Is opencv compatible with Anaconda distribution? If yes, how should I install using the Anaconda version of python?. Does the same procedure mentioned in the recipe work with anaconda as well? Command line work is painful. Are we working towards packaging the software for different OS

unfortunately, we cannot help you with anaconda or menpo specific problems.

if you build from src, and cmake finds your python install (and a recent numpy), it will build the python bindings as well.

if that somehow did not happen, you'll have to give us more information -- cmake output, make log, etc.

I used cmake-gui and ran configure and generate. This is what I got http://dpaste.com/1JRCGC7

Please confirm if everything is good to go

I ran the command: make -j7 and here is the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26459512/

Here is the 100% https://paste.ubuntu.com/26462516/

@berak, it seems that openCV is installed properly (https://paste.ubuntu.com/26484239/). However when I run the command: import cv2 in python interpreter is throwing a "module not found" error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26484568/

yea, it never built any python bindings, http://dpaste.com/1JRCGC7#line-97

install a recent numpy version for the python you want, try again with cmake, and check the output carefully.

NumPy is already installed on my machine. I tried to install it again but it returned requirement already satisfied

try to use cmake-gui this time, type PYTHON into the search box, and try to fill the resp. fields manually, required are : include path, lib and executable

ofc. you need the python c-headers and lib !
