How to install Openpose without using cmake-gui in Linux?

Author: RevelationHCreated Sep 10, 2024Updated Aug 26, 2025

I wish to install the openpose in Linux such as Ubuntu. Unfortunately, all I can do is use the console command to interact with the installation, which means I can't use an interactive interface such as cmake-gui to finish the installation. Alternatively, I use cmake .. -DBUILD_PYTHON=ON to install it. However, according to my experience installing openpose in Windows successfully, it seems like I need further to point the python executable link such as python.exe if I use conda to handle the environment. Therefore, I failed to install it.

Any help will be appreciated in advance!!!
