Raspbian 10 Buster and OpenCV

Raspbian 10 Buster recently was released (June 2019). With any new release, there is a consideration that maybe some packages will not work. Well on Raspberry Pi 3, Raspbian 10 buster works with OpenCV. Note: Pi 4 will arrive next week, so we shall see how Pi4 buster does!

To install openCV on Raspbian 10 Buster run the following commands as sudo:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y python3-pip python3-wheel python3-opencv libopencv-dev

To test OpenCV is installed run the following commands:

python3

>>> import cv2

>>> cv2.__version__

if results display, this is the version of openCV installed.
