Raspberry Pi setup

[matrhint]

The instructions need to have "sudo pip install svgwrite" added to step 4.

[goldenbucks]

why do you need SVG drawings. ??

Confirmed, when installing on Raspbian 2015-05-05, the {simplecv} command complains about missing svgwrite:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ simplecv

Adding that I got the same error with Raspbian Jessie - 09/24/15 - Kernel version: 4.1.

Here it is in action:

[rodgomesc]

sudo pip install svgwrite

[yaroshiroki]

[rodgomesc]

@yaroshiroki the last commit was more than 4 years ago, this project seems to be dead

Hi, I have the same problem, did you get solve it? thanks. @MoshiBin @rodgomesc

[yaroshiroki]

Hi, I’m afraid not. I believe the main source of the issue is that all of simplecv works with python 2, not 3. The best thing to do in my opinion is to switch to OpenCV instead, I can link you some nice repositories for computer vision. Best of luck, Yaro Shiroki.
