When we install OpenCV 3, we will do so in an Anaconda environment that uses specifically Python 3.5, and that version of Python will only be accessible through the environment. Īnaconda environments are similar to a Python virtualenv, except they use Anaconda’s superb package managers. This section is essentially a Windows distillation of. All of the code we discuss in these instructions will be run directly in the Anaconda Prompt. This is a modified version of the Windows Command Prompt that support specific Anaconda commands. Search in your Windows taskbar for the Anaconda Prompt. These include the Anaconda Navigator, Anaconda Cloud, Spyder, and the Anaconda Prompt. Install it with the default settings.Īnaconda installs a few programs on your computer when you run the installer. Make sure to install the “Python 3.6 Version” for the appropriate architecture.


Head over to continuum.io/downloads/ and install the latest version of Anaconda. Since a lot of users will be interested in solely Python OpenCV, I figured it would be helpful to post a relatively quick method for getting Python OpenCV 3 up and running on Windows. Recently, Satya Mallick, founder of, posted an impressive (but complicated) method for installing OpenCV 3 on Windows that supports both the C++ and Python API’s.
