[Noobie] Do I need to complie OpenCV to do anything?...

Greetings, I wish to use OpenCV to do image opencv with an Raspberry Pi Zero W. I wish to create custom haar cascades for various brands or logos. I'm currently in the process of installing and configuring OpenCV on the Rpi Zero. All the tutorials say I need to compile OpenCV, which will take around 10 hours!

My question is can I compile OpenCV on my powerful desktop to create the haar cascades. Then just use like the python-opencv package or library on the Rpi? I saw one suggestion to install opencv via conda and pip. https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/opencv (Despite that being 64 bit.)

Thanks!
