This is it we are done! FFMPEG is ready to be used! Test to confirm | 64-bit | `OPENCV_DIR` | `C:\opencv\build\圆4\vc12` |Īppend %OPENCV_DIR%\bin to the User Variable PATH.įor example, my PATH user variable looks like this.īefore: C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda\ScriptsĪfter: C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda\Scripts %OPENCV_DIR%\bin

| 32-bit or 64 bit machine? | Variable | Value | Right-click on "My Computer" (or "This PC" on Windows 8.1) → left-click Properties → left-click "Advanced" tab → left-click "Environment Variables." button.Īdd a new User Variable to point to the OpenCV (either x86 for 32-bit system or 圆4 for 64-bit system). BUT, we still need to do a little bit more work to get FFMPEG (video codec) to work (to enable us to do things like processing videos). To this Anaconda directory (the beginning part might be slightly different on your machine): C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda\Lib\site-packagesĪfter performing this step we shall now be able to use import cv2 in Python code. For Python 3.x, I guess, just change the 2.x to 3.x accordingly. Our goal is to copy and paste the cv2.pyd file to this directory (so that we can use the import cv2 in our Python codes.).įrom this OpenCV directory (the beginning part might be slightly different on your machine). C:\Users\Johnny\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages in my case) contains the Python packages that you may import. The Anaconda Site-packages directory (e.g. In my case, I've extracted the package (essentially a folder) straight to my C drive ( C:\opencv). I am on Python 2.x and OpenCV 3.x - mainly because this is how the OpenCV-Python Tutorials are setup/based on. Download OpenCV Packageįirstly, go to the official OpenCV site to download the complete OpenCV package. So far I have got it working on both my desktop and laptop, both 64-bit machines and Windows 8.1. The following instruction works for me is inspired by this OpenCV YouTube video. you may be able to use OpenCV, but you won't be able to process videos. That method however does not include the FFMPEG codec - i.e. Install OpenCV-Python to AnacondaĬautious Note: I originally tried out installing the OpenCV package, as suggested. It seems to be recommended everywhere in the scientific community.

(Read on for the detail instructions.) Prerequisite Install AnacondaĪnaconda is essentially a nicely packaged Python IDE that is shipped with tons of useful packages, such as NumPy, Pandas, IPython Notebook, etc.
#CONDA INSTALL OPENCV CONTRIB PYTHON WINDOWS 10#
If you are using Windows 10 and Anaconda/Python 3.x, and this solution works, please add a comment below. NOTE 2: this will probably work for Anaconda/Python 3.x too. NOTE 1: as mentioned mentioned by (thank you) in comment section however, this solution appears to also work for Windows 10. (see notes below - this works also for Windows 10, and likely Python 3.x too). Nevertheless I've copied and pasted the important bits to this post.Īt the time of writing I was using Windows 8.1, 64-bit machine, Anaconda/ Python 2.x.
