title: Installing OpenCV with Conda and Spyder
body: <p>I'm having trouble installing OpenCV with Conda. I tried running numerous commands, none of which worked. For example, when I ran <code>conda install -c anaconda opencv</code> (as per <a href="https://anaconda.org/anaconda/opencv" rel="noreferrer">https://anaconda.org/anaconda/opencv</a>) I get this error:</p>
  <pre><code>UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
  to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
  
  Specifications:
  
     - opencv -&gt; python[version='&gt;=2.7,&lt;2.8.0a0|&gt;=3.5,&lt;3.6.0a0|&gt;=3.6,&lt;3.7.0a0|&gt;=3.7,&lt;3.8.0a0']
  
  Your python: python=3.8
  
  If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
  When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
  not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
  change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
  that.
  </code></pre>
  <p>Why is this happening and how can I install OpenCV in Spyder?</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
