Complete Guide for Install OpenCV using Anaconda

OpenCV, or the Open Source Computer Vision Library, is a treasure trove for anyone working with image and video processing in Python.

With Anaconda, a popular scientific Python distribution, installing OpenCV becomes a breeze.

Here we'll explore the step-by-step process to install OpenCV using Anaconda.

Step-by-step Guide to Install OpenCV using Anaconda

To install OpenCV for Python using Anaconda, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Conda Environment

Create a conda environment by following the command:

$conda create -n your_env_name python=3.10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The given command creates a new Conda environment named your_env_name with Python version 3.10 installed.

To use the command, simply replace your_env_name with the name of the new Conda environment that you want to create.

For example, to create a new Conda environment named env with Python version 3.10 installed, you would run the following command:

conda create -n env python=3.10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Once the new Conda environment has been created, you can activate it by running the following command:

$ conda activate env // env= your_env_name
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Install OpenCV using Conda

To install OpenCV for Python using Conda, run the given command:

$ conda install -c conda-forge opencv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will install the latest version of OpenCV for Python, along with any required dependencies.

Note: You can follow the OpenCV release documentation to find your suitable and required version of OpenCV.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the installed OpenCV version printed.

With OpenCV at your fingertips, embark on exciting computer vision projects! Explore image manipulation, object detection, and more, all within the clean and organized environment provided by Anaconda.

Happy coding!
