I've followed this installation guide but on the last part where it says:

Revert back the swap size to its original value of 100MB by editing the /etc/dphys-swapfile. And, restart the service by issuing commands."

I type in:

sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile restart

But it says:

no such file or directory

But its still in the same place, what should I do?

  • You don't need to build opencv yourself any more. Install it from piwheels: blog.piwheels.org/new-opencv-builds – ben_nuttall Apr 1 at 16:41

  • Try rebooting. It will automatically restart when you reboot the pi. – scitronboy Apr 1 at 20:26
  • It worked but when i tried to run a simple process some of the commands won't read such as cv2.imshow() or cv2.imread () along with the waitkey() everything else works fine but a few necessary likes of code. Is it that i dont have have depencies for them or is it something else? – Entity Apr 2 at 16:14

It seems that the author of that tutorial you have linked hasn't learned that Raspbian uses systemd instead of old style SysV init system since years. Try to restart the swapfile service with:

rpi ~$ sudo systemctl restart dphys-swapfile.service

and check with:

rpi ~$ systemctl status dphys-swapfile.service
