Answer 1

Note: the following answer assumes that you use MacOS, which I suspect you do. If you are not using this OS then this solution will not work.

Apparently, the error has nothing to do with installing the package. In the past Java used to ship with a tool called apt . To manage installations on Linux you need to use the Advanced Package Tool , which is probably what you tried to do. This won't work on MacOS however! You need to use the brew command, which is the apt equivalent for Mac.

Answer 2

apt is not supported on MacOS.

Please try again,

sudo brew install python-opencv
