The technical requirements are as follows:
- Python and OpenCV
- Python-specific IDE
- NumPy and Matplotlib packages
- Git client
- Flask (see how to install Flask in the next subsection, Installing the packages)
- Keras (see how to install Keras in the next subsection, Installing the packages)
- TensorFlow (see how to install TensorFlow in the next subsection, Installing the packages)
- Requests (see how to install requests in the next subsection, Installing the packages)
- Pillow (see how to install Pillow in the next subsection, Installing the packages)
Further details about how to install these requirements are present in Chapter 1, Setting Up OpenCV. The GitHub repository for Mastering OpenCV 4 with Python, containing all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from the first chapter to the last one, can be accessed in this URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Mastering-OpenCV-4-with-Python.
In the next subsections, we will see how to install the necessary packages (Flask, Keras, TensorFlow, and requests) using pip commands.
