Basic installation guides
As authors, we acknowledge that installing OpenCV 3 on your system can sometimes be quite cumbersome. Therefore, we have added a series of basic installation guides for installing OpenCV 3, based on the latest OpenCV 3 master branch on your system, and getting the necessary modules for the different chapters to work. For more information, take a look at https://github.com/OpenCVBlueprints/OpenCVBlueprints/tree/master/installation_tutorials.
Keep in mind that the book also uses modules from the OpenCV "contrib" (contributed) repository. The installation manual will have directions on how to install these. However, we encourage you to only install those modules that we need, because we know that they are stable. For other modules, this might not be the case.
