Installation

The video IO is done using OpenCV’s video functionality. Unfortunately, OpenCV on pip seems to not be built with the necessary backend, as the methods fail silently. As a result, we have not included OpenCV in the requirements and it is necessary to get it seperately, built with the video capture and writing functional. Additionally, on some platforms scikit-image does not build easily from source and the developers don’t have bindary distributions for all platforms yet. The simplest way to install these difficult dependencies is to use conda:

conda install scikit-image
conda install pyqt
conda install -c conda-forge opencv

The rest of the dependencies are all in the requirements, so to install just clone or download the repository and then from inside the top level directory either run:

pip install .

or:

python setup.py install
