Pycharm/Python OpenCV and CV2 install error

Question

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         


        

Answer 1

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
