Usage
Legacy usage
Set-up
The legacy system version does not need to be loaded. Keep in mind that it dates to many years ago. In general, it should be used with other tools from the same era, e.g., the system compiler version, which can be selected for your environment via module load gnu/4.8.5 on Owens and Pitzer.
Usage on Pitzer
Set-up on Pitzer
To load the default version of the OpenCV module which initalizes your environment for non legacy OpenCV, use module load opencv. To select a particular OpenCV version, use module load opencv/version. For example, use module load opencv/4.5.4 to load OpenCV 4.5.4.
module load gnu/9.1.0 cuda/11.2.2 opencv/4.5.4; g++ $OPENCV_INCLUDE $OPENCV_LIB bla bla. A complete example is available; for its location and other installation details see the output of module spider opencv/4.5.4.
