In order to make the installation process go more smoothly, IвЂ™ve included timings for each step so you know when to take a break, grab a cup of coffee, and checkup on email while the Pi compiles OpenCV. The goal of this tutorial is to thus guide you step-by-step through the compile and installation process. If youвЂ™ve ever installed OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi (or any other platform before), you know that the process can be quite time consuming with many dependencies and pre-requisites that have to be installed. Installing OpenCV 3 on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch I use the standard US Keyboard layout, but youвЂ™ll want to select the one appropriate for your keyboard or desire (any Dvorkac users out there?). Keyboard layout giving you problems? Change your keyboard layout by going to the Raspberry Pi desktop preferences menu. Open a terminal and type ssh to see if it is working. This can easily be done via the Raspberry Pi desktop preferences menu (youвЂ™ll need an HDMI cable and a keyboard/mouse) or running sudo service ssh start from the command line of your Pi.ДЄfter youвЂ™ve changed the setting and rebooted, you can test SSH directly on the Pi with the localhost address. IвЂ™ll be doing the majority of this tutorial via SSH, but as long as you have access to a terminal, you can easily follow along.Д¬anвЂ™t SSH? If you see your Pi on your network, but canвЂ™t ssh to it, you may need to enable SSH. Physical access to your Raspberry Pi 3 so that you can open up a terminal and execute commands.

Important: It is my recommendation that you proceed with a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch! Upgrading from Raspbian Jessie is not recommended.ДЄssuming that your OS is up to date, youвЂ™ll need one of the following for the remainder of this post: Proceed at your own risk, and consult the Raspberry Pi forums for help. Note: If you are upgrading your Raspberry Pi 3 from Raspbian Jessie to Raspbian Stretch, there is the potential for problems. The former instructions take approximately 10 minutes to download via a torrent client and about 10 minutes to flash the SD card at which point you can power up and proceed to the next section.

#OPENCV PYTHON 3 INSTALL UPGRADE#

To upgrade your Raspberry Pi 3 to Raspbian Stretch, you may download it here and follow these upgrade instructions (or these for the NOOBS route which is recommended for beginners). If you donвЂ™t already have the Raspbian Stretch OS, youвЂ™ll need to upgrade your OS to take advantage of Raspbian StretchвЂ™s new features. In this tutorial, I am going to assume that you already own a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch installed. Otherwise, if you feel comfortable using the command line or if you have previous experience with Linux environments, feel free to use the text-based version of this guide below.
