Simple way to install openCV

I constantly have problem building openCV on different systems and get different errors for each new version. Most of those problem I can resolve by hand, but there are some where I just get stuck and I cannot find any help (http://answers.opencv.org/question/10...)

Is there a simpler way to install openCV with SIFT and python bindings than to build it from source?

I don't think it's possible to have sift without building opencv using cmake. SIFT is non free module (The algorithm is patented in the US; the owner is the University of British Columbia.)

I've had luck using Docker to build OpenCV consistently across systems. It's a better way to guarantee you get the same tool-chain on every build.

Thanks, but I do not have root access on the Server that I use. So I cannot install or run Docker.
