Course Description
How can you integrate OpenCV into your Python development project, or create a new project on your machine? How can you install OpenCV for your project without creating conflicts with your Python installation? Virtual environments are a best practice tool to manage Python installations and their packages. Learning how to manage Python package installations is an essential skill for any Python developer, which is why this course will show manual installation and virtual environment management steps, as well as how these steps can be performed in a more common Integrated Developer Environment. The topics discussed in these lessons will provide a foundation for all OpenCV Python development, as well as other projects.
In these lessons, you will learn how to create a Python development project with a virtual environment to install OpenCV. We will explore the Python installation process, virtual environments, and installing OpenCV. By the end of these lessons, you will be able to install Python and OpenCV.
