Easiest way to install OpenCV for python in Raspberry pi within few minutes

In this video I will show you how to install OpenCV for python in the easiest way within few minutes.

Commands used in this video:

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libhdf5-100
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 libqt4-test
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev
sudo pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

"sudo pip3 install opencv-contrib-python==3.4.6.27" - this command as the latest version of openCV doesn't work with RPi.

sudo apt-get install python3-h5py

Check the message after executing the first line, if it failed then change the first line to "sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libhdf5-103" it will work.
I neglected the message at first and it didn't work.

While importing opencv if you get error like "ImportError: undefined symbol: __atomic_fetch_add_8", then use


"sudo pip3 install - this command as the latest version of openCV doesn't work with RPi currently.

After this if you get "ImportError: libhdf5_serial.so.103: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" - this error then use the below command:

sudo apt-get install python3-h5py
