Installing as a Python package

Ubuntu 16.04+/Debian 9+

    • The unofficial opencv-python package can be installed using pip and is the easiest way to install the required OpenCV functionalities.

    • Alternatively, if on Ubuntu 17.10 (or later), the python3-opencv package is also available from the ‘Universe’ repository and can be installed with:

      sudo apt install python3-opencv
      
  1. Follow the installation instructions here for installing PyGObject and GTK.

  2. Use pip to install Opendrop from the repository by running:

    pip install git+https://github.com/jdber1/opendrop.git
    

    (You may need to use pip3 to refer to the Python 3 version.)

    Run pip uninstall opendrop to uninstall.

  3. An opendrop script is installed into your PATH and the app can be launched by entering opendrop in the command line.

macOS

  1. Install the latest version of Python 3 and pip. You may like to do so using a package manager like MacPorts or Homebrew.

    • If Homebrew was used to install Python 3, PyGObject and GTK can also be installed by running:

      brew install pygobject3 gtk+3
      
    • or if MacPorts was used, run:

      sudo port install py35-gobject3 gtk3
      

      (Instead of the py35- prefix, use py36- or py37- if Python 3.6/3.7 is the version installed.)

  2. Use pip to install OpenDrop from the repository by running:

    pip install git+https://github.com/jdber1/opendrop.git
    

    Run pip uninstall opendrop to uninstall.

  3. An opendrop script is installed into your PATH and the app can be launched by entering opendrop in the command line.
