I was installing opencv on my ubuntu system. I got some problems while installation. Finally i installed openCV on my system. Steps i followed are as below.

To install opencv i installed dependencies that must exist in system. To install dependencies execute below commands.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

sudo apt-get install -y cmake

sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config

tar -xzvf download

rm download

cd OpenCV-2.4.3

mkdir release

cd release

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

Build will take much time.

After build completed successfully execute below commands.

sudo make install
