Unable to install cv2 on windows

Question

I am trying to install opencv in python on my windows machine but I am unable to do so. I have python 2.7.11::Anaconda 2.4.1 <32-bit>

Answer 1

I was able to solve the error ! If you are using python 3 version , sometimes you have to use pip3

pip3 install opencv-python

enter image description here

make sure you are using python 3 , it won't work for python 2

Answer 2

pip install opencv-python

you can type this instead of

pip install cv2 

it also works with anaconda pro
