The Easy Way

Install prerequisites:

sudo dnf install opencv-devel tesseract-devel leptonica-devel git cmake log4cplus-devel libcurl-devel gcc-c++

If using the daemon, install beanstalkd

sudo dnf install beanstalkd

Download, compile and install:

# Clone the latest code from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr.git

# Setup the build directory
cd openalpr/src

# Setup the compile environment
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR:PATH=/etc ../src

# Compile the library
make

# Install the binaries/libraries to your local system (prefix is /usr)
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
