CMake Error: Unknown CMake command "ocv_glob_modules"."

Question

I am trying to install opencv for a python project but I keep getting the following error -

"CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (ocv_glob_modules):
  Unknown CMake command "ocv_glob_modules"."

I tried to google it but couldn't get any help. I am working on Ubuntu 14.04 and have done all the installation (not the optional ones) given on page Linux install guide for opencv

I'm using the same command given in the page to install

Please guide me through

Edit: I installed the opencv by the help from the comment but I still can't use it to code. Please reconsider this question. I'm getting the error

"No module named cv2"

I see a lot of issues on here with open-cv and ubuntu 14.04, I installed 3.0.0-dev from source and I don't seem to have any issue so might be worth installing that. — Padraic Cunningham

I got that error because I configured the CMake source directory to /opencv-VERSION/modules. Just fixing it to /opencv-VERSION made the error go away.
