Installing opencv in python

I'm having some trouble installing OpenCV. I have been using Anaconda, and I copied the cv2.pyd file into the ...\Lib\site-packages folder. When I get type import cv2 into Python I get this error: 

`Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.`

I've also tried a pip install via command prompt: C:\Users\SCD>pip install cv2 results: `

Collecting cv2
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for cv2`

Can someone help?

Had the same problem, solved by using the below command to install "opencv-python":

pip install opencv-python

Try running the following:

$ python
>>> import cv2
>>> print cv2.__version__

I think the proper input should be 'import cv2' not 'install cv2'. After this print cv2.version should show you that it installed properly. Hope this helps.
