Step-by-Step Guide: Installing OpenCV C++ and Setting It Up in Visual Studio Code with CMake

You will also get access to all the technical courses inside the program, also the ones I plan to make in the future! Check out the technical courses below 👇

_____________________________________________________________

In this video 📝 I'm going to show you How To Install OpenCV C++ and Set It Up in Visual Studio Code with CMake. We will go over the installation of OpenCV and CMake. After that, we will open up Visual Studio Code and install the extensions we are going to use. We will then use CMake to configure our project and build it with OpenCV.

*********************************************
REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD: visual studio 2019 with c++ devolvement tool

- You can just copy everything from those files and set it up as in the video and you are ready to create your OpenCV programs in Visual Studio Code with c++

For those who have trouble creating the CMake file, if the extension does not prompt you with the "create new cmkae file", just do this Ctrl+Shift+P Cmake:Qick Start

Thanks so much for helping me get past the setup xD

It's honestly insane to me how convoluted it is just to startup a project, but I guess im just a noob lol
Im a somewhat experienced dev, but I usually only work on projects that my coworkers started decades ago. Rarely get to work on my own projects from the ground up.

Awesome video, keep up the incredible work! :)

[andrewjawney]

Finally! a tutorial that actually worked for me... Thank you much for this!

[aviraj]

Hey! Thanks for the help. I have a question though, I just tried to add another cpp file in my folder. It's working so far but I get an error in the include command and I can't just add that file name to my CMake.txt as well. What do I do?

Thenkiu so much. From Vietnam with love

About the compiler, a useful command is ctrl + shift + p > then cmake: select kit.
For some reason gcc compiler didn't work out, but the one used in this video is working ok.

[luthfiaminulloh]

why do I get an error while using GCC compiler while following this tutorial, should I install and use Visual Studio Community compiler?

[danecchio]

Late comment, but thank you! This video is still helping people like me! How in the name could I have found things like this out without needing to depend on the chance that a kind soul like you has made a video on it? Genuinely asking

[LuizAntonio_Gameplay]

Thanks for the video.
This error appears to me, how do I solve it

Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
[cmake] "OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenCV"
[cmake] provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
[cmake] installed.

[MirakXfire]

nice video
honestly compared to visual studio integration it s simpler using cmake

[mihirsavla]

CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles".

[Anime-beru]

I got an error on this line <<<find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )>>>
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV" with any
of the following names:
OpenCVConfig.cmake
opencv-config.cmake

Where and how can I fix it?
Thanks!

[saltygamer]

CMakeLists.txt:2 (project):No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found . I am getting this error message how do i fix this?

[ryangippner]

I am not sure why, but I am unable to find the extensions that you use. I have searched for them; however, none of them show up for me. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong?

[barbearian]

When I do Cmake:Configure, it doesnt show any kits. If I try to scan, none show up. How do I get the vscode to show up?

[scottiemurrell]

I followed everything exactly but I have errors on the file that adds the #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

#include errors detected based on information provided by the configuration Provider setting. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit

[vaishnaviseshadri]

Hey thanks a lot. but can u please make a video on how to add the tracking modules? Wld be really helpful

[inipraiseadeniyi]
