Installation

Dependencies:

• OpenCV
  • Windows Installation
    • Download the version used from GitHub: (download the opencv-4.4.0-vc14_vc15.exe file))
    • Next, run the EXE file - make note of the directory where the files are extracted to (such as C:\opencv)
    • Open a Command Prompt window in "Run as administrator" mode and run the following commands (replacing YOUR_OPENCV_PATH with the path to where you extracted OpenCV to):
      • for 32-bit Windows: setx -m OPENCV_DIR C:\YOUR_OPENCV_PATH\opencv\build\x86\vc15
      • or, if you have 64-bit Windows setx -m OPENCV_DIR C:\YOUR_OPENCV_PATH\opencv\build\x64\vc15
    • Then, add the variable to your path. Run the following command in the same Command Prompt window:
      • SET PATH=%PATH%;%OPENCV_DIR%\bin
  • Linux Installation
    • Follow the instructions on the OpenCV website

Windows

• For the latest stable version, please see the releases tab and download the EXE file.
• Next, either place this file in the directory where you want to manage pictures or place it in a safe directory and add the variable to the path as above so it can be run globally (run the command SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\PATH\TO\YOUR\EXE)
• To download the latest code, clone this repository and open the project in Visual Studio

Linux

• A Makefile is provided for easy code compilation. Install make with sudo apt-get install make if you do not have it already.
• Run make in the CoinPictureManager directory to compile the code. The finished program will be in a file called coinpicturemanager.
