Uninstall OpenCV 3 Mac OSX - c++

I have installed OpenCV 3.0 on my MacBook pro with Yosemite.
Unfortunately, after the installation, I realized that I needed the version 2.4.9 of OpenCV since I'm going to use some libraries that are not already supported by version 3.0.
How can I completely remove the 3.0 version? Is it enough to delete the OpenCV folder?

Step 1: remove OpenCV version 3 or higher
>> pip uninstall opencv-contrib-python //do this if you installed opencv-contrib-python
OR
>> pip uninstall opencv-python // do this if this is your first time
Step 2: download OpenCV version 2.4.9 from Github and save it to your local computer.
Step 3: go to the folder wherever you downloaded, then install OpenCV 2.4.9
You are all set.

OpenCV version showing wrong

I had installed opencv 2.4.9 it worked fine but I was not able to use imgproc header and drawMarker functions so I decided to install opencv 4.1.0 and I ran the cmake and everything but when I check the opencv version using pkg-config --modversion opencv it shows 2.4.9.
by the way, I use ubuntu 14.04 and want to use c++ with opencv.
This is a common mistake. People are installing opencv from the first link and it is generally installing opencv 2.4.9 automatically they do not decide the version while installing.
First thing you need to do is to uninstall opencv. There is a post in this link how to uninstall opencv. The way I prefered:
sudo apt-get autoremove opencv-doc opencv-data libopencv-dev libopencv2.4-java libopencv2.4-jni python-opencv libopencv-core2.4 libopencv-gpu2.4 libopencv-ts2.4 libopencv-photo2.4 libopencv-contrib2.4 libopencv-imgproc2.4 libopencv-superres2.4 libopencv-stitching2.4 libopencv-ocl2.4 libopencv-legacy2.4 libopencv-ml2.4 libopencv-video2.4 libopencv-videostab2.4 libopencv-objdetect2.4 libopencv-calib3d2.4
Then you need to install opencv again. I strongly recommend you this link. Read that article carefully and do the steps. You can decide the opencv version in the line for example version 3.4.3:
git checkout 3.4.3

Why does opencv on Canopy downgrade numpy, scipy, and other packages when I try to install it?

On my package manager for canopy, every time I try to download opencv it downgrades several other important packages. I am then not able to upgrade those same packages or run my code. How can I download opencv without downgrading my other packages?
You haven't provided any version or platform information. But perhaps you are using an old Canopy version (current is 2.1.9), or perhaps you are using the subscriber-only "full" installer, which is only intended for airgapped or other non-updateable systems. Otherwise, the currently supported version of opencv is 3.2.0 (build 3.2.0-4) which depends on numpy 1.13.3, which is the currently supported version of numpy.

Homebrew OS X OpenCV - looking for dylib when running on another Mac

I have a cross platform (Windows + Mac) application, built with QT and C++ libraries, which uses OpenCV. I had previously used an OpenCV version downloaded and compiled on the Mac, but decided to try to use the homebrew version to simplify installation on dev machines.
I did brew install opencv --with-contrib and brew link opencv, and managed to get the program to link and run with the libraries from /usr/local/lib.
Problem is, when I install it on another Mac, the program crashes when I try to run it, saying: Library not loaded: /usr/local/Cellar/ilmbase/2.2.1/lib/libIex-2_2.23.dylib.
I'm not sure what to do. I'm not a Mac expert, and certainly no Homebrew expert. Should I go back to compiling OpenCV myself, or can this be solved?
Thanks.
I faced same issue, but I solved it. homebrew installed latest opencv and dependencies. openexr and ilmbase also installed latest version. but opencv.jar refered specific version of library.(ex libIex-2_2.23.dylib)
So, you'd install ilmbase version 2.2.X. and than solve library issue.
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/ilmbase.rb
This link is ilmbase install Formula. You can ckeckout v.2.2 Formula commit.
And than uninstall & re-install ilmbase v.2.2.

Using SIFT with OpenCV3 on Raspberry Pi

Ok, just got my first Raspberry pi (3). Went on to install Opencv 3.1.0 using Adrian's guide:
How to Install Opencv 3 on Raspbian Jessie
Installed OpenCV WITH CONTRIB packages as I knew I would need them.
So OpenCV is working fine now. The issue is when I try to use SIFT:
"'module' object has no attribute 'xfeatures2d'"
I did and still do everything by the book, including working on 'cv' environment etc.
I tried checking the site-packages dir of both the python dir and the 'cv' env dir and couldn't find any mention of 'contrib' or 'xfeatures2d'.
Maybe that's the problem? How can I check that the contrib packages were actually compiled with OpenCV?
Thanks in advance.
Because u installed the latest version in OpenCV where they removed sift and surf, I am not sure how they substitute them, anyway u have to install older version of opencv 3.4.2.16 also make sure that opencv contrib of the same version is installed, thats the last working version working with sift/surf not sure if there are special versions for raspberry pi

OpenSuse: Cannot start Omnisharp because Mono version >=3.10.0 is required

Im running Visual Studio Code on OpenSuse 13.2 and get "Cannot start Omnisharp because Mono version >=3.10.0 is required". I have reinstalled mono-complete and mono-devel.
OpenSuse 13.2 repositories contains mono version 3.8.0. To install newer version, firstly uninstall current version of mono and then visit this page and click "1-click Install mono-complete" to install latest version of mono (currently version 4.0.2)
