Windows Guide:

• Download files

  • Go here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

  • In almost all cases you will download the cp27m-win32 wheel, but in select cases (they have an AMD processor), download the amd64 wheel.

  • Go here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv

  • Same thing for numpy, usually download the cp27m-win32

  • Put both files in the same folder (hopefully their TP folder)

• Install Numpy/OpenCV

  • navigate to the folder with the .whl files downloaded above using Command Prompt (use 'cd' and 'dir' to help you)

  • In Command Prompt:

pip install numpy‑1.13.1+mkl‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
pip install opencv_python‑2.4.13.2‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl

• Test Installation

  • In Command Prompt:

python

>>> import cv2

Debugging:

• Modify the path to the opencv installation:
  • In the Windows search bar type 'environment variables' and hit enter
  • Right click 'path' on the lower portion of the screen
  • Edit
  • Add path to python's site-packages
