Installing JavaCV and OpenCV using on ubuntu (for eclipse)

Question

I am trying to install OpenCV and JavaCV on ubuntu 12.04. I have gone through this link here . I have following queries.

1. Can I just use OpenCV zip instead of running and installing exe.
2. This link says https://code.google.com/p/javacv/downloads/list , javacv code is depricated. From where I can find javaCV code?

Answer 1

To answer your first question: Follow the Installation in Linux instructions on the OpenCV page. I setup OpenCV on Ubuntu 12.04 and later on 14.04 following these instructions and it helped me perfectly.

To your second question: I don't know javacv, but if it says it's deprecated, you probably shouldn't use it ;) OpenCV supports Java bindings since version 2.4.4, so you won't need javacv. I think you can do everything with Java-OpenCV you need. For information about Java development with OpenCV, see Introduction to Java Development . As far as I remember, Java bindings are created by default when building.

I hope this helps!
