1. Download the archive ```Delphi-OpenCV-master.zip```<br>
2. Unzip it to a convenient directory, thus get the following directory structure

```
<Directory, such as 'C:\OpenCV' or just 'C:\' - <PROJECT_ROOT>>
	<Delphi-OpenCV-master>
		<Bin>
		<include>
		<opencv_classes>
		<samples>
```
3. Add the search path for the modules of the project in Delphi IDE (Tools-Options-Delphi Options-Library-Library path)
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\core
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\highgui
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\imgproc
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\legacy
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\nonfree
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\objdetect
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\calib3d
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\contrib
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Delphi-OpenCV-master\Include\video
```
where ```<PROJECT_ROOT>``` directory, which was unzipped project.

<Directory, such as 'C:\OpenCV' - <PROJECT_ROOT>>
	<Bin>
	<include>
	<opencv_classes>
	<samples>
```
and path
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\core
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\highgui
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\imgproc
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\legacy
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\nonfree
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\objdetect
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\calib3d
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\contrib
<PROJECT_ROOT>\Include\video
