how to install opencv2 in M1 #67

vivek-ram · 2020-12-13T22:29:48Z

was getting an error when installing this directly with pip commend

jjbenes · 2020-12-14T05:07:08Z

I assume you have Xcode and tensorflow_macos. You should also turn off Anaconda if you're using it. You need to compile cv2 from source.

Stay in the virtual environment for tensorflow_macos.
a. Make sure that you're not also in a Conda environment.
b. Make sure that file $(which python) says that python is a universal binary.
You need your own homebrew in /opt/homebrew (not the one in /usr/local/bin.) See Alternative Installs here.
Get cmake to compile cv2. /opt/homebrew/bin/brew install cmake
Compile cv2 from source. Assuming that your tensorflow_macos virtual environment is at ~/tensorflow_macos_venv,
follow the steps here except run cmake like this:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DPYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=`which python` \
-DPYTHON3_NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIR=~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/numpy/core/include \
-DPYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Headers \
-DBUILD_opencv_python2=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_python3=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/tensorflow_macos_venv \
<your OpenCV source directory>

Run make or make -j7 as the link suggests.
Run make install. cv2 should now be in ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv2 for python to import.

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T05:09:19Z

my virtual environment for Tensorflow_macos is from Conda.

jjbenes · 2020-12-14T05:13:32Z

Apple isn't ready to support tensorflow_macos with Conda yet. For the time being, if you don't mind, turn off Conda. I ran into problems when I got my Conda and TF virtual environment mixed up. For now, I move my ~/.bash_profile aside (because it sets up Conda) and open a new shell for the TensorFlow virtual environment. I assume this will all get straightened out in due time.

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T05:17:47Z

kinda confusing bro mind u can message me in discord ?? I got few issues when I doing this environment thingy coz python 3.9 don't support it right. here is my discord vivek#2200

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T05:40:36Z

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/errors

getting this error when trying to install Tensorflow_mac

jjbenes · 2020-12-14T06:59:14Z

Not supposed to be Python 3.9. Apple wants us to use Python 3.8 under Xcode. Don't use Google's installation instructions since you're installing an alpha version of M1 TensorFlow. (If not, then you posted your question in the wrong place.) Did you install TF for M1 by following the steps from Apple here?

BTW, you'll want to get Xcode from the App Store if you don't have it yet. After you get Xcode, you'll need to sign a license (sudo xcodebuild -license).

Unfortunately, the software packages are not all ready for developers. You should be able to install cv2 for the M1 TF if you follow the 6 steps I outlined above.

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T07:01:49Z

yeah I installed Tensorflow_mac in Conda environment but from that environment I can't install cv2

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T07:04:57Z

can u give the steps for Tensorflow_mac from scratch coz I was getting the error when testing the Tensorflow.

is this for M1 Mac or I installed for intel ??

jjbenes · 2020-12-14T08:08:17Z

It says x86, so just for Intel and the wrong version. You want to use the one from Xcode. See file $(which python) from step 1b above. The correct Python 3.8 returns:

Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]...

Mine came from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3. I expect you have the same one, too, if you have Xcode.

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T08:23:55Z

mine is coming from /Users/vivekd/opt/anaconda3/bin/python: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

vivek-ram · 2020-12-14T09:15:26Z

@jjbenes
bro manage to install it but getting this issue

Run make install. cv2 should now be in ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv2 for python to import.

i finished the step 6 but when i try to import cv2,No module named 'cv2' and i checked my ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages cv2 is not here

jjbenes · 2020-12-16T08:52:31Z

@Lucife5604 Did cv2 somehow get into /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv2? If so, make a link from ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages to it. Also, check where you're getting cmake from. which cmake should return /opt/homebrew/bin/cmake, the one you installed in step 3.

i checked the /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages but nothing there,and the cmake is correct located in opt/homebrew/bin

vivek-ram · 2020-12-16T19:03:24Z

can we install opencv in Conda environment ?

MintStudios · 2020-12-20T16:25:09Z

I also have this problem. cv2 is somehow in ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8, not in site packages.

bjajoh · 2020-12-23T18:24:28Z

I got opencv and conda working correctly. I documented my procedure here and will add more in the future.

This is what I came up with:

You can now install opencv using conda. conda install opencv

jessicaadong · 2021-01-15T02:22:57Z

@Lucife5604 Did cv2 somehow get into /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv2? If so, make a link from ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages to it. Also, check where you're getting cmake from. which cmake should return /opt/homebrew/bin/cmake, the one you installed in step 3.

I replaced cmake with /opt/homebrew/bin/cmake in your instruction to build opencv. It built successfully but the library was installed at /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv2/cv2.cpython-38-darwin.so. I created a symbolic link to it at ~/tensorflow_macos_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages, but I have:

Yes. I tried first with pip install opencv-python but it didn't work.
