Install OpenCV via pip on Python 3.5 64-bit

Question

I tried to install OpenCV, and I couldn't find any suitable pip packages for it. I decided to look online for official documentation on how to install it, and found this . Unfortunately, not only does this documentation only give support for versions using python 2.7, it also says to install OpenCV manually by downloading it from sourceforge rather than using a package manager like pip.

I want to know if there's a better or more official way of installing OpenCV in python 3.5, or failing that, a package in pip I should install instead.

Answer 1

What OS are you on? If it's Windows have a look at

To properly install the available wheels make sure you have pip version 8 installed.
