From the course: OpenCV for Python Developers

What you should know

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, it helps to be familiar with Python 3 specifically. While you could follow along with Python 2.7, I suggest trying to work with Python 3 to future-proof yourself. Additionally, some command line familiarity will help for running scripts. Note that you do not need any prior OpenCV, or other image processing experience in order to be successful with this course. In terms of software, I'll be showing you the full installation process for OpenCV 4.6 and Python 3.10, specifically for Windows, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu Linux. If you have older versions of OpenCV in Python, you should be able to follow along, but I would recommend following along these steps to install OpenCV 4.6 in Python 3.10. Newer versions of either install generally should be fine too. Finally, while I'll be using Sublime Text, any text editing software will work.
