If you want process all data locally, you need version 2.3.1 or higher of the alpr commandline tool.

If you don’t find binaries for your distribution you can compile from source. Documention of how to build OpenALPR is found here.

On a Debian system you can use this cmake command to build only the command line tool:

$ cmake -DWITH_TEST=FALSE -DWITH_BINDING_JAVA=FALSE --DWITH_BINDING_PYTHON=FALSE \
  --DWITH_BINDING_GO=FALSE -DWITH_DAEMON=FALSE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr ..

For other operating system please refer to the OpenALPR wiki.

Verify your alpr installation with:

$ wget -O- -q http://plates.openalpr.com/h786poj.jpg | alpr -
