Notes on installing on Windows:
**************************************

In short

1) Install Visual Studio Community 2015
2) Install OpenCV from Sourceforge - latest version (4.3.0).  
	It installs in a directory. Put it where you want (e.g., C:\opencv)
	You change a system environment variable to tell the system where it is. See below**
3) Download lavbolt.zip from the course web page and unzip the folder 

You should then be able to open the "solution file" (.sln) in Visual Studio, then
build and run the example code given in the unzipped directory.

**
You need to create a System Environment Variable:

Variable Name: OPENCV_DIR
Variable Value: C:\opencv\build\		<-- Or wherever your opencv directory is

If you need further help, I got my directions from this web page
