pip - "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-python"

Question

I am struggling with Jetson TX2 board (aarch64).

I need to install python wrapper for OpenCV.

I can do:

$ sudo apt-get install python-opencv

But I cannot do:

$ sudo pip install opencv-python

Is this because there is no proper wheel file in http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv?

Is there a way to install opencv-python through pip?

Answer 1

We were getting the same error.For us, it solved by upgrading pip version (also discussed in FAQ of OpenCV GitHub). Earlier we had pip-7.1.0, post upgrading it to "pip-9.0.2", it successfully installed.

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install opencv-python
