Hi, Elec!
Installation by using pre-built libs is the easiest way to start work with OpenCV. If you want just use OpenCV functions you should choice pre-built libs.

If you want to:

• modify OpenCV source code
• include OpenCV function in your project without libs dependencies

or there is no pre-built libs for your system, you can clone OpenCV sources and do whatever you want. Furthermore, you can clone master branch to get the OpenCV with latest changes, patches, features.
