how to istall opencv in EPD?
Question: There is no opencv in EPD 7.3.1. My EPD path is like /usr/epd

I have installed opencv using the method below the dashed line successfully .

Now cv2.so and cv.py are made in the directory /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-
packages

But since my default python is epd, there is a path problem now. I copy cv2.so
and cv.py to /usr/epd/lib/python2.7/site-packages. Now I can import cv2 under
epd.

I am afraid there is a hidden trouble some day. Is my method right?

I just follow the link [opencv
install](http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html)

Answer: Linux has a number of interfaces to opencv. Have you tried:
