How do I install Python OpenCV through Conda?

You can install it using binstar:

conda install -c menpo opencv

conda install opencv currently works for me on UNIX/python2. This is worth trying first before consulting other solutions.

This worked for me (on Ubuntu and conda 3.18.3):

conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo opencv3

The command above was what was shown to me when I ran the following:

anaconda show menpo/opencv3

To install this package with conda run:
     conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo opencv3

I tested the following in python without errors:

>>> import cv2
>>>
