Issue installing Opencv-python on windows x64 bit

Question

I have installed OpenCV for python 3.8.5 - 32 bit and it worked perfectly fine. I decided to use the 64bit version of python, as my PC's system type is x64-based, but OpenCV-python does not install properly. This is the error I receive when trying to import cv2.

Command used to install Opencv -> 'pip install opencv-contrib-python'

error while testing opencv install

Answer 1

You can make virtual environment and then install python3.8 64-bit there,and then you can install opencv-contrib for this version,

download and install virtualenv and make an virtualenv:

python3 -m venv your-env 

for environment activation:

source your-env/bin/activate
