Install OpenCV & matplotlib on Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm)

Image
Install OpenCV & matplotlib on Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm) to make it compatible with Picamera2. Tested on Raspberry Pi 5B/64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm). It's suggested in Raspberry Pi official Picamera2 Document , to install OpenCV compatible with the Qt GUI toolkit that is installed with Picamera2. Install OpenCV from apt. To install OpenCV, enter the commands in Terminal: sudo apt install -y python3-opencv sudo apt install -y opencv-data To install matplotlib: sudo apt install python3-matplotlib picam2_cv2_and_info.py Python code to check if Picamera2/OpenCV related packages are installed, include: picamera2, cv2, numpy, matplotlib.
