Installing OpenCV for Python on Ubuntu, getting ImportError: No module named cv2.cv


I think you don't have the python-opencv package.

I had the exact same problem and

sudo apt-get install python-opencv

solved the issue for me.

you can install opencv from the following link https://www.learnopencv.com/install-opencv3-on-ubuntu/It works for me . apt-get install doesnt contain many packages of opencv


I also had this issue. Tried different things. But finally

conda install opencv

worked for me.


If you want as simple as possible, install from the repository:

sudo apt-get install python-opencv libopencv-dev python-numpy python-dev
