I’ve been trying to install both OpenCV and cv2 from both Pycharm and from the terminal as suggested using:
pip install --user opencv
pip install --user cv2
but I’m getting the following error for them:
Collecting opencv
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for opencv
and
Collecting cv2
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for cv2
How can I fix these and install the packages properly? I’m using python 3.4.

You are getting those errors because opencv
and cv2
are not the python package names.
These are both included as part of the opencv-python
package available to install from pip.
If you are using python 2 you can install with pip:
pip install opencv-python
Or use the equivilent for python 3:
pip3 install opencv-python
After running the appropriate pip command your package should be available to use from python.

This the correct command that you need to install opencv
pip install opencv-python
if you get any error when you are trying to install the «opencv-python» package in pycharm, make sure that you have added your python path to ‘System Variables‘ section of Environment variables in Windows.
And also check whether you have configured a valid interpreter for your project

I ran into the same problem. One issue might be OpenCV is created for Python 2.7, not 3 (not all python 2.7 libraries will work in python 3 or greater). I also don’t believe you can download OpenCV directly through PyCharm’s package installer. I have found luck following the instructions: OpenCV Python. Specifically:
- Downloading and installing OpenCV from SourceForge
- Copying the cv2.pyd file from the download (opencv\build\python\2.7\x64) into Python’s site-packages folder (something like: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages)
- In PyCharm, open the python Console (Tools>Python Console) and type:
import cv2
, and assuming no errorsprint cv2.__version__
Alternatively, I have had luck using this package opencv-python, which you can straightforwardly install using pip with pip install opencv-python
Good luck!

Try this. I am using Jupyter notebook (OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Google Cloud Platform + on Windows). Executed following command in the Jupyter notebook to install opencv:
!pip install opencv-contrib-python #working on both Windows and Ubuntu
After successful installation you will get following message:
Successfully installed opencv-contrib-python-4.1.0.25
Now restart the kernel and try to import opencv as:
import cv2
The same command can be used to installed opencv on Windows as well.
SOLUTION 2: try following commands to install opencv:
For Ubuntu:
Run following command from terminal:
sudo apt-get install libsm6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1
Restart Jupyter notebook kernel and execute following command:
!pip install opencv-contrib-python
NOTE: You can run all the above commands from the terminal as well without using ‘!’.

Keep it simple and just run.
pip install opencv-python
This is the simplest way of installing opencv.
If you still face issue, create a virtual environment and try installing opencv.

here is a tutorial that worked for me without any problem.
Copied from the site above the important part:
Download the OpenCV version corresponding to your Python installation
from here. In my case, I’ve used
opencv_python-3.1.0-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl.Now, open a cmd window like before. You can open this directly in your
Downloads folder if you SHIFT and right click inside it. The idea is
to open a cmd window where you’ve downloaded the above […] file. Use
the […] command to install […] OpenCV:1 pip install "opencv_python-3.1.0-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl"
Additional note: don’t forget to change the name of the downloaded file in the command you use.
Apparently by installing opencv, you’ll have access to cv2 too.

Installing opencv is not that direct.
You need to pre-install some packages first.
I would not recommend the unofficial package opencv-python. Does not work properly in macos and ubuntu (see this post). No idea about windows.
There are many webs explaining how to install opencv and all required packages.
For example this one.
The problem of trying to install opencv several times is that you need to uninstall completely before attempting again, or you might end having many errors.

How about try some different mirrors?
If you are in China, I highly recommend you try:

If not, just replace the url address to some other mirrors you like!
Good luck.

is what I get by checking the supported tags. I thought manylinux would work because I thought I had used them before, but I just checked the PyTorch wheel I had used and it is actually linux_x86_64, so my mistake. I guess CentOS is not compatible with manylinux. If I cannot use the manylinux wheels, and I cannot use pip as it cannot find opencv-python, am I just not able to use opencv-python? I don’t think there was a linux_x86_64 wheel available.

если открыто это файл и исполнить вылазит ошибка: Не надо это делать. Ошибка No module named ‘__main__ обычная и говорит, о том что человек ее вызвавший не разбирается в системе импорта python.
