ubuntu 16.04 安装 python2.7 以及 cv2, dist-package 和 site-package 的区别, import cv2 出问题解答

ubuntu16.04默认安装python3以上，需要手动安装2.7。

1、先确保make、gcc、g++已经安装好，如果没有则需要先安装这三个程序，均使用apt-get的方式直接装；

2、下载python2.7包：

　　wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/Python-2.7.13.tgz

3、解压该包：

　　tar -xvf Python-2.7.13.tgz

4、进入该包：

　　cd Python-2.7.13

5、./configure

6、make

7、make install

安装完毕，如果因为权限问题失败，需要加sudo。

1. sudo apt-get install 安装的package存放在 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages目录中
2. pip 或者 easy_install安装的package存放在/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages目录中
3. 手动从源代码安装的package存放在site-packages目录中

The dist-packages is a Debian-specific convention that is also present in its derivatives, like Ubuntu. Modules are installed to dist-packages when they come from the Debian package manager into this location:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Since easy_install and pip are installed from the package manager, they also use dist-packages, but they put packages here:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

From the Debian Python Wiki:

dist-packages instead of site-packages. Third party Python software installed from Debian packages goes into dist-packages, not site-packages. This is to reduce conflict between the system Python, and any from-source Python build you might install manually.

This means that if you manually install Python from source, it uses the site-packages directory. This allows you to keep the two installations separate, especially since Debian and Ubuntu rely on the system version of Python for many system utilities.

cv2:

pip install opencv-python

import cv2 出问题解决：

sudo ldconfig
