Easiest way to install OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.04 (Python + C++ Support)
Hello Friends,
I recently stumbled upon a script which i think is the easiest way to install OpenCV with Python and C++ support on Ubuntu 16.04 or Debian build.
You just need to copy the below script and create a file “install_opencv.sh” and paste everything in there.
Fire up the script using sudo command and enjoy your coffee/food break while everything will be setup on its own.
This is probably the easiest method to install OpenCV on Ubuntu.
