i've been trying to download older versions of cv2 as an easy way to get around not being able to use SIFT.
I've tried the following:
pip install opencv-contrib-python==3.4.2.17
however I get this error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-contrib-python==3.4.2.17 (from versions: 3.4.8.29, 3.4.9.31, 3.4.9.33, 4.1.2.30, 4.2.0.32, 4.2.0.34)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for opencv-contrib-python==3.4.2.17
All the advice I've seen on the site so far tells me to either download these older versions of opencv or to build it myself (which seems like an absolute nightmare)
Anyone have any suggestions on how to install these older versions of cv2?
opencv-contrib-python 3.4.2.17 provides wheels for Pythons up to 3.7. Probably you use Python 3.8.
Use Python 3.7 (or lower). Or compile from sources for 3.8.

Im trying to install dlib for few cv2 projects, but I have problems installing it.I made everything without problem but when I wanted to finally do the python setup.py install It showed me this error message: Could NOT find Boost (missing: python) (found suitable version "1.79.0", minimum required is "1.41.0")
I mean why doesnt it work when it sees my installed Boost 1.79...
Does somebody know how to fix it guys?
Thank you anyways:)
From error log it looks like boost libraries are found, but it's missing specific boost library to integrate with python
You have not mentioned which OS you are using for debian & it's derivatives
sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev or if you are installing specific version of boost sudo apt-get install libboost-python1.79-dev should install the python module.
If boost is built from sources, during bootstrapping enable python libs to be built
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=python,filesystem,serialization
for list of boost libs can be built
./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
this error and warning is showing when I tried to install Kivy
As Python 3.10 is still currently relatively new and library developers need to recompile their package to the newest version, there is currently no way to install Kivy and its dependencies on Python 3.10 . I suggest you downgrade to Python 3.9 or even 3.8 for the installation to succeed.
I need to update opencv to version 4.5.1 because there is a function that is not implemented in my current version 3.4.2. (I need to use the SIFT_create function, when I google a bit it seems that they removed it from 3.4.2 because of a patent. However, I have also heard from someone that this function has a different name in 3.4.2, so if you know this different name this is fine as well. I googled it but couldn't find anything about it.)
I tried updating opencv in the anaconda navigator but that didn't work. I tried typing
pip install opencv-python==4.0.0.21
(if I replaced 4.0.0.21 by 4.5.1 it couldn't find the version), but when I type
cv2.__version__
afterwards it still says I'm using version 3.4.2. I found this post: How to upgrade OpenCV in Anaconda (windows)? which says I should use
conda install -c conda-forge opencv=4.3.0
I do this, both the exact same command and the command with 4.3.0 replaced by 4.5.1 but in both cases I only get version 4.0.0 (which apparently also doesn't have the SIFT_create function).
Any idea what I could do?
In the meanwhile I found the answer myself (or rather: with the help of non-internet people).
The problem was that while trying to update opencv, I ended up having two versions of opencv at once. I had opencv 4.5.1 and at the same time I had opencv-python 4.0.0.21 installed. When importing opencv, it chose to import opencv-python in stead of just opencv. When I deleted the opencv-python this fixed the problem.
I'm trying to use luagraph, a binding to the graphviz library:
http://luagraph.luaforge.net/index.html
To install, I'm using luarocks in Mac OS X. The following command is executed in bash:
luarocks install luagraph
The output is the following:
Installing https://luarocks.org/luagraph-1.0.4-1.src.rock... Using
https://luarocks.org/luagraph-1.0.4-1.src.rock... switching to 'build'

Error: Could not find expected file graphviz/graph.h, or
graphviz/graph.h for GRAPHVIZ -- you may have to install GRAPHVIZ in
your system and/or pass GRAPHVIZ_DIR or GRAPHVIZ_INCDIR to the
luarocks command. Example: luarocks install luagraph
GRAPHVIZ_DIR=/usr/local
I have been installed graphviz using homebrew, but I can't figure out how to pass GRAPHVIZ_DIR or GRAPHVIZ_INCDIR properly.
How can I install luagraph?
I've updated LuaGRAPH a couple of weeks ago. It now supports the newest version of Graphviz based on the cgraph library instead of the old graph library.
There is one drawback: I couldn't get luagraph to run on Windows using mingw because of some runtime library issues (compiler and dll compatibility probably). Please look at the README file for more details.
I personally never produced a rockspec for this module. This was created by someone else based on a fork of my luagraph library.
Installation without Luarocks is simple. Download from
https://github.com/hleuwer/luagraph
and follow the instruction in the documentation and the README file. You need adopt a simple config file which is included by make.

Well, luaGRAPH is still the top result when searching for lua and graph. So the question is still standing.
And, unfortunately, the answer is: luagraph is OLD, the last update happened before the ubuntu 14.04 was released. And there seem to be some notable changes in the system itself, the flags the error message show do not seem to work. On top of that, graphviz is now about 20 releases newer than the luarock recommends.
There now is a bare bone alternative lua package: graphviz
It is extremely basic, and documentation in not at all informative, but at least it works.
update: Luagraph may be working again, but not through rocks. See the other answer.
I already have part of a program running in Python 3 but I need OpenCV (or SimpleCV), for a robotic vehicle, but I haven't found any install commands that seem to work, other than for Python 2.7.
If it is compatible could you please include instructions (/links to) for installation of the module?
I am using Ubuntu 14.
Maybe a little late to answer, but it's actually supported on OpenCV version 3 (in alpha state nowadays). I have successfully managed to install it, on MacOS, but I guess it would be similar on Ubuntu.
Now you have separated options for python2 and python3 when using Cmake. So you'll have to set those to make it work. That's all I needed to set:
BUILD_opencv_python3
PYTHON3_LIBRARY
PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR
PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR2
PYTHON3_NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIRS
...

Luigolas is correct that OpenCV 3.0 supports Python 3.x bindings. It was in release candidate status since April and the production version was released on 4 June 2015. Unfortunately for some reason the downloadable installation program on the OpenCV site does not contain a Python 3.x-compatible cv2.pyd file.
OP asked about Ubuntu but for those requiring a Windows installer, use Christoph Gohlke's site, which maintains Windows binaries for many Python packages, including OpenCV 3.0 with Python 3.x bindings. Visit:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv
To install, just download the 64-bit or 32-bit .whl file appropriate for your system, then run pip install [filename]. Then the instruction import cv2 should work in your Python 3.x interpreter.
