I am struggling with Jetson TX2 board (aarch64).
I need to install python wrapper for OpenCV.
I can do:
$ sudo apt-get install python-opencv
But I cannot do:
$ sudo pip install opencv-python
Is this because there is no proper wheel file in http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv?
Is there a way to install opencv-python through pip?
pip doesn't use http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/, it downloads packages from PyPI.
The problem is that you have an unusual architecture; pip cannot find a package for it and there is no source code package.
Unfortunately I think you're on your own. You have to download source code from https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python, install compiler and necessary libraries and compile OpenCV yourself.
We were getting the same error.For us, it solved by upgrading pip version (also discussed in FAQ of OpenCV GitHub). Earlier we had pip-7.1.0, post upgrading it to "pip-9.0.2", it successfully installed.
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install opencv-python
Use this and it will work:
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install opencv-python
It happened with me on Windows, pip was not able to install opencv-python==3.4.0.12.
Later found out that it was due to the Python version, Python 3.7 has some issue with not getting linked to https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python.
Downgraded to Python 3.6 and it worked with:
pip3 install opencv-python
Another problem can be that the python version you are using is not yet supported by opencv-python.
E.g. as of right now there is no opencv-python for python 3.8. You would need to downgrade your python to 3.7.5 for now.
A way to do this is to install Anaconda on your computer.
Then you should be able to do:
pip install opencv-python
or
conda install opencv
As there is no proper wheel file in http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv?
Try this:(Worked in Anaconda Prompt or Pycharm)
pip install opencv-contrib-python
pip install opencv-python
