title: How to import OpenCV into python
body: <p>I have downloaded Anaconda on my Windows PC, and I have been using Spyder IDE. Now I want to do a project with OpenCV.</p>
  <p>However, I have tried to install OpenCV using the Command Prompt and typing the following in:</p>
  <pre><code>pip install opencv-python 
  </code></pre>
  <p>This only gives an error message and says &quot;pip&quot; is not recognized as a command.</p>
  <p>Furthermore I tried to import OpenCV into Python using the following:</p>
  <pre><code>import cv2
  </code></pre>
  <p>This also doesn't work</p>
  <p>I would appreciate any help in getting OpenCV working.</p>
