Error While Installing Cv2 In Pycharm - Python 3.5.3

I am getting error while installing cv2 package from project interpreter. Error occured: Non zero exit code(1) When I execute command, pip install cv2..it gives error as, Could not

Solution 1:

The package name is actually opencv-python. So you should do:

pip install opencv-python

However, the package is only available on pypi for version 3, not for version 2. I think the misunderstanding could come from when you are actually importing the package you do:

`import cv2`

But that is actually not the package name on pypi. See the documentation on pypi for more details.

Solution 2:

In pycharm go to :

1. File
2. Settings
3. Expand Project : [your project name]
4. Select "project Interpreter"

5. In the top right corner of the grid listing the packages, click the green plus button A popup "Available packages" will appear

   

6. If no package is available in the list in the left, click the "Manage repositories" button, add this package URL (https://pypi.python.org/simple), then restart pycharm (You may also need to update pycharm to the lastest version, there was a bug here)

7. In the search box type "opencv-python"

8. Select the "opencv-python" package in the list and click the "Install Package" button in the bottom left of the popup

9. Now go back to your code, it will no longer comply about the missing cv2

Solution 3:

Easy Way to go .. You can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings in Pycharm.
2. In Settings, on left there will be an option of Project: Your Project Name.
3. Press it and then inside it click Project Interpreter.
4. Now there will be a plus sign over right frame.
5. Press that sign and write opencv-python and then install the package.

write import cv2 in your program to use it.
