Install opencv OSX Mavericks.md

#Install opencv MacOSX Mavericks

1. fire up xcode - to insure that command line tools are there.
2. xcode-select --install (older OS?)
3. https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action# (you need an apple developer account, use your apple id)
4. brew update
5. brew tap homebrew/science

If your py is in good shape you may be able to skip down to 'brew install opencv'. No harm in trying.

3. brew uninstall python
4. brew unlink python
5. brew install python - (many bad links to delete here, ended up forcing it)

    	> brew link --overwrite python
    	Linking /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.6... 35 symlinks created
    

6. pip install numpy... expect a ton of very helpful warnings and complicated-looking output, followed by

    Successfully installed numpy
    Cleaning up...
    

7. Add to .bashrc or .zshrc:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

finally, in a new terminal window:

 brew install opencv
