I am trying to import OpenCV into my ipynb using Jupyter. I kept getting :
ImportError: No module named 'cv2'
import cv2
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
Any idea how to import cv2 in jupyter?
If you have already installed opencv, then its possible that your notebook and your opencv library are in 2 different python environments.
The following has helped me in the past:
- Open your notebook
- In an new cell type:
!pip install opencv-python
Note, that the !
is deliberate. This will install open-cv in your current notebook environment.
You can type
which jupyter-notebook
if it's not in the envs of opencv-python installed, you should install jupyter in the envs:
condda install jupyter-notebook
OpenCV is compiled for Python 2.7. When you install it with pip, it will install 2.7. However, if you run the code with python 3, it will complain that the module is not installed.
using the command
sudo apt-get install python3-opencv
Solved my problem, hope it will help others
