Use this quick start to integrate MRZ scanning from scratch.
Set up your project from scratch
Choose your language and run the setup commands.
- Python x86_64
- Python ARM64
- Java (x86_64/ARM64)
- Node.js (x86_64/ARM64)
- C (x86_64/ARM64)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-venv python3-opencv
python3 -m venv .env --system-site-packages
source .env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
export SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION>
pip install https://github.com/doo/scanbot-sdk-example-linux/releases/download/standalone-sdk%2Fv${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}/scanbotsdk-${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}-py3-none-linux_x86_64.whl
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-venv python3-opencv
python3 -m venv .env --system-site-packages
source .env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
export SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION>
pip install https://github.com/doo/scanbot-sdk-example-linux/releases/download/standalone-sdk%2Fv${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}/scanbotsdk-${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}-py3-none-linux_aarch64.whl
mkdir data-capture-quickstart-java
cd data-capture-quickstart-java
gradle init --type java-application
Then add the Scanbot SDK JAR dependency in build.gradle, as shown in the Java quick start.
mkdir data-capture-quickstart-node
cd data-capture-quickstart-node
npm init -y
export SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION>
npm install https://github.com/doo/scanbot-sdk-example-linux/releases/download/standalone-sdk%2Fv${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}/nodejs-scanbotsdk-${SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION}.tgz
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y cmake build-essential wget
mkdir data-capture-quickstart-c
cd data-capture-quickstart-c
Then use the CMake setup from the C quick start and replace main.c with the scanner snippet below.
Run your scanner app
- Python x86_64
- Python ARM64
- Java (x86_64/ARM64)
- Node.js (x86_64/ARM64)
- C (x86_64/ARM64)
python main.py /path/to/image.jpg
python main.py /path/to/image.jpg
./gradlew run --args='/path/to/image.jpg'
npx ts-node main.ts /path/to/image.jpg
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DSCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION> ..
make -j
./data-capture-quickstart /path/to/image.jpg
The MRZ Scanner quick start shows how to scan machine-readable zones from image input.
