Description

Linux tutorial mentions some of the packages that have to be installed, but inexperienced users like me have difficulties (e.g. translating some of the names to aptitude packages). Why can't we just provide opencv prerequisites with a single aptitude line? Such as:

Required: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libgtk2-dev
Optional, but recommented: sudo apt-get install libtbb2 libtbb-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libjasper-dev libdc1394-22-dev

Then a user installing OpenCV on a clean system can just copy-paste instead of going through each line of the tutorial.
