How to install Mahotas in Python

Hello, Coders!! In this section, we will learn how to install the Mahotas library for Python on Windows and Linux systems.

The Mahotas library is a collection of functions and algorithms that are used for computer vision and image processing. We can perform various image processing operations with a few lines of code by using this library.

The library contains more than 100 methods for image processing and manipulation and computer vision. It also includes many algorithms for operation with numpy arrays. Ex- Thresholding, Convolution, Watershed, Spline interpolation, etc.

Here, we will use Python’s pip package manager for the installation of the Mahotas library for both the Windows and Linux systems.
