How to set up the OpenCV environment in Visual Studio Code?
To set up the OpenCV environment in VSCode, you need to complete the following steps:
- Make sure that Python and OpenCV are installed. You can check if they are installed by running the following command in the command line.
- What is the version of Python?
- If Python is not installed, please install it first. For OpenCV, you can install it by running the following command:
- Install OpenCV using pip.
- Open VSCode and create a new Python project. You can create a new project folder by selecting “File” > “New Folder” from the menu.
- Create a new Python file in the project folder and open it.
- In the Python file, add the following code to test if OpenCV is functioning correctly:
- Print the version of OpenCV using the cv2 module.
- Save the Python file and execute it. You can run it by pressing “F5” or selecting “Debug” > “Start Debugging” from the menu.
- If everything is working properly, you should see the version number of OpenCV in the terminal.
By doing this, you have successfully set up the OpenCV environment in VSCode. You can now use VSCode for developing and debugging with OpenCV.
