Installing OpenCV with Conda and Spyder

Question

I\'m having trouble installing OpenCV with Conda. I tried running numerous commands, none of which worked. For example, when I ran conda install -c anaconda opencv

Answer 1

The answer for this issue is updating Anaconda to the newest version:

conda update -n base -c defaults conda

then you can install opencv normally using:

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

Answer 2

Python 3.8 is relatively new. And according to the error it looks like that conda package manager still does not support Python 3.8.

Try downloading using this command:

pip install opencv-python
