The directions for Raspbian Jessie fail with Error 2:

How can I install on Stretch?

Following these directions from PyImageSearch fixes the problem. I assume you already have

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y upgrade

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential cmake unzip pkg-config

sudo apt-get -y install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev

sudo apt-get -y install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev

sudo apt-get -y install libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev

sudo apt-get -y install libgtk-3-dev

sudo apt-get -y install libcanberra-gtk*

sudo apt-get -y install libatlas-base-dev gfortran

sudo apt-get -y install python3-dev



cd ~

sudo rm -r -f opencv

git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git

sudo rm -r -f opencv_contrib

git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib.git



pip3 install numpy

cd ~/opencv

mkdir build

cd build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE 

    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local 

    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules 

    -D ENABLE_NEON=ON 

    -D ENABLE_VFPV3=ON 

    -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF 

    -D OPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON 

    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=OFF 

    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF ..



make -j4

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

Stuck at 99%?

You may get this error:

...

You need to increase your swap size, as mentioned in the original directions. Open /etc/dphys-swapfile:

sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile

and edit the CONF_SWAPSIZE variable:

# set size to absolute value, leaving empty (default) then uses computed value

#   you most likely don't want this, unless you have an special disk situation

# CONF_SWAPSIZE=100

CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048

It worked for me without further problems:

>>> import cv2

>>>
