- 1.
- 2.
- 3. Download the Python'sinstaller python-3.6.0-macosx10.6.pkg
- 4. PIP The instructions toinstall/uninstall the libraries for Python in use of pip For Python < 3.4 (without pip installed by default) on Mac OS X, in Terminal: sudo easy_install pip3 To update the version of pip for Python 3.X: pip3 install --upgrade pip For Python 3.X on Mac OS X, in Terminal: ( use pip for Python2 ) pip3 install package_name pip3 install package_name==version pip3 install --upgrade package_name pip3 uninstall package_name
- 5. List of theinstalling libraries Requests, the only Non-GMO HTTP library for Python. Theano, a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently.
- 6. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install numpy
- 7. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install scipy
- 8. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install matplotlib
- 9. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install sklearn
- 10. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install tensorflow
- 11. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install theano
- 12. For Python 3.Xon Mac OS X, in Terminal: pip3 install pygame

- 14. * You needto have numpy installed first before you install opencv (cv2) Download OpenCV for Mac from www.opencv.org
- 15. Once the downloadis done, unzip the "opencv-3.2.0.zip" file and then1. move the "opencv-3.2.0" folder under a proper directory, such as the user's Documents. e.g. /Users/davidhsu/Documents/opencv-3.2.0 2. Under the folder of "opencv-3.2.0", create a new folder and name it "build"
- 16. To install thelibrary of openCV for Python, you also need ...
- 17. Open the application"CMake" Browse Source to the folder of "opencv-3.2.0" 1. Browse Build to the folder of "build" under opencv-3.2.0 2. Click "Configure"3.
- 18. Choose "Unix Makefiles" 1. Usedefault native compilers2. Click "Done"3.
- 19. Check "Configuring done"to make sure it was successful
- 20. Search "python" 1. Only check"BUILD_opencv_python3"2. If there is no "BUILD_opencv_python3" on the list, click and name it "BUILD_opencv_python3".
- 21. Set up directoryfor each entry of PYTHON3
- 22. Check or setup the value for each entry as followings : PYTHON3_EXECUTABLE /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/3.6/bin/python3.6 PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/3.6/include/Python3.6m PYTHON3_LIBRARY /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/3.6/lib/libpython3.6m.dylib PYTHON3_NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIRS /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/3.6/lib/python3.6/site- packages/numpy/core/include PYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/3.6/lib/python3.6/site- packages
- 23.
- 24. Check "Generating done"to make sure it was successful
- 25. In Terminal: cd /Users/davidhsu/Documents/opencv-3.2.0/build 1. make-j8 2. sudo make install3.
- 26. Or try toimport the module of cv2 in Python Shell Execute python3 and import the module of cv2 to check if the installation was successful
- 27. To verify ifthe modules have been installed successfully, try to import each module and check its version like the followings.
- 28. Congrats, enjoy programmingin Python !
