No module named 'cv2' on Anaconda 3.8.3

Question

I just Installed the latest Anaconda 3.8.3 with conda version 4.8.3 right away after I installed Anaconda, I use Jupyter Notebook then type

import cv2

it says

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 import cv2

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'

then based on : Cannot find module cv2 when using OpenCV

someone suggested trying

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv

from the Anaconda Prompt

Is there any other way to install cv2?

Solution

Just open your command prompt with run as administrator. And try,

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

Try pip install opencv in corresponding conda env

[Nirmal]

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

I tried pip install opencv and conda install -c conda-forge opencv and still failed with the same result @Sociopath and @nirmal

You need to be an administrator to install packages with your current setup. You should launch the Anaconda Prompt in Administrator mode. If you don't know how to do that, it would probably be best to uninstall and re-install Anaconda, clicking the box to install it only for your own user account.

This did the trick, though I don't understand why conda install opencv does not work.
