I try to install opencv on my Raspberry Pi with 4GB RAM (Raspberry OS version Linux 5.15.84-v8+ aarch64). Instructions I found on q-engineering. After a 2hr lasting build process the make announced that opencv was succesfully installed. When I try to import it I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'
But opencv appears to be succesfully installed. When I run opencv_version I got:
$ opencv_version
4.7.0-dev
and:
/usr/local/bin/opencv_visualisation
/usr/local/bin/opencv_annotation
/usr/local/bin/opencv_version
/usr/local/bin/opencv_model_diagnostics
/usr/local/bin/opencv_waldboost_detector
/usr/local/bin/opencv_interactive-calibration
/usr/local/share/licenses/opencv4
/usr/local/share/opencv4
/usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/cmake/opencv4
/usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/opencv4.pc
/usr/local/include/opencv4
/usr/local/include/opencv4/opencv2
/usr/local/include/opencv4/opencv2/opencv.hpp
/usr/local/include/opencv4/opencv2/gapi/opencv_includes.hpp
/usr/local/include/opencv4/opencv2/opencv_modules.hpp
Looking for cv2 or *cv2* yielded nothing except what was already listed above. The date/time of the files conform to the time I ran the install script.
Next I tried opencv-lite according to instructions from the same source. Same result: succesful installation, traces of newly put opencv files but import cv2 still fails.
To complicate matters I use anaconda environments. I got two: base and rpi. I installed with rpi activated. In both no trace of opencv or cv2 and in both cases import fails. Some information where the system fetches python:
$ which python
/home/arnold/bin/anaconda/envs/rpi/bin/python
(rpi) arnold#bottie:~/bin/opencv/opencv/build
There is python in /bin/python and /usr/bin/python I found out with vscode. I tried both and both failed.
My questions:
did installation of opencv really succeed?
if so, is it possible to 'connect' the installation to a running version of python, preferably a conda environment?
if not, what is the best way to proceed?
I try this links. install OpenCV 4 for RPI 4 It worked for me using RPi 4B/8GB 64-bit.
Do update first
Install OpenCV
Check getBuildInformation()
After that if not getting . Then install sudo apt
pyhton3-opencv-contrib
No needed to do cmake. And you ready to go.
A program I am trying to install requires the installation of PyQt5 5.15.0 , which gives me this error. The odd thing is that the installation works fine for the latest version of PyQt5 (5.15.2), but this program requires 5.15.0 specifically.

I am on the latest version of pip. Any ideas on the root cause of this issue?
What helped me is upgrading pip from 20.2.3 to the latest one (in my case 21.1.1)
For Mac/Homebrew users.
The answer by #the-x is leading in the right direction. On a Mac with QT5 installed via Homebrew the qmake binary just needs to be added to the path. This can be achieved through
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin:$PATH"
(of course depending on where the homebrew files are installed)
Running on arm with python3.6 (ubuntu18 on nvidia Xavier):
sudo apt install qt5-default
For MacOS users.
I am on Apple M1 silicon using Python 3.9.8. What worked for me was #Apaul's comment in the original question section. Install pyqt5-sip prior to pyqt5.
I also have an Intel Mac and on that machine, I do not need to do this.
Checking the binaries that PyQt5 provides in pypi for version 5.15.0 I see that it does not provide the binaries for python3.9 in windows, so pip is trying to compile using the source code which is complicated and can generate several dependency problems (for example you must have Qt 5.15 installed, etc). So my recommendation is to install a more updated version of PyQt5, for example 5.15.2 since if it provides the binaries for python3.9 on windows, in addition to being a wrapper of an LTS version of Qt then it will have solved several bugs.
python -m pip install PyQt5==5.15.2
Another solution is to use python3.8 instead of python3.9 so that you can install pyqt5 5.15.0 from pypi without problems.
Upgrading your pip enables you to install PyQt5. Personally, I had the same issue while installing PyQt6 and I upgraded my pip, and everything installed perfectly. I think both python and pip versions play an important role in installing PyQt so make sure you have later versions.
This is the command I used in Linux:
pip install --upgrade pip
Combining several answers on this question: On an Apple M1 Pro Macbook with macOS Ventura 13.0.1, with Homebrew 3.6.17 and python 3.11.0 the following commands fixed it for me (no sudo):
brew install qt5
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin:$PATH"
python3 -m ensurepip --default-pip
pip3 install pyqt5-sip
pip3 install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose
That last step calls qmake to compile all of Qt on your M1 and takes many minutes to complete, be patient and let it finish.
Since qt5-default was not available, I installed qt5-default's dependencies
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
after that I installed pyqt5 via apt-get first and afterwards via pip
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev
pip install pyqt5
now wheel seems to work
side-note:
I am not sure if sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev is even necessary
The error message thrown here is misleading - it's not an issue with a sipbuild.api attribute. Indeed, in this case program qmake is missing, see last line of the Python traceback. Have a look if it's installed on your system and add it to your PATH variable. Otherwise, install it. On Linux this would be done with
sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake
I had this problem on my M1 Mac using Python 3.9.12 when I was trying to install a library: pip install pixellib.
The first thing I did was: pip install pixellib --verbose to see the whole log, and there I noticed that PyQt5 was waiting for an input. So then I found someone else with that issue, and used pip install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose which took some time to compile, but worked!
I could not get any of the above solutions to work but I managed to get it working using python3.9, PyQt5=5.15.2, pip=22.0.2 and sip=6.5.0 by using sudo apt-get install PyQt5. If you need it in a virtual environment, you can manually copy the PyQt5 folder from your default /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages to the site-packages folder in your virtual environment.
To all those that are struggling with Apple M1 installation, here is a working solution, specifically addressing the problem of installing the pixellib library that depends on PyQt5 but you can apply it equally to other libs:
PyQt5 is not supported on Apple M1, it needs qt6: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/o4w1ut/comment/h2jele3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 , https://www.qt.io/product/qt6
this means you need to install PyQt6: python3 -m pip install PyQt6
go to the lib you need, in my case pixellib: https://pypi.org/project/pixellib/#files and
download the wheel file
get the wheel tool: pip install wheel
unpack the wheel wheel unpack pixellib-0.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
Change its dependency of PyQt5 to PyQt6
edit pixellib-0.7.1/pixellib-0.7.1.dist-info/METADATA
pyQt5 => pyQt6
pack it back wheel pack pixellib-0.7.1
install it: pip install pixellib-0.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
test in python: `
# should work
import pixellib
P.S. thanks to Terra and ChaOS for supporting work on the project underlying this report.
I finally managed to make it works on M1/M2 Macbook Pro.
None of these answers worked for me, so I looked at brew to install pyqt.
The following command will install pyqt5 via brew:
brew install pyqt#5
Then it just worked.
This can be resolved by switching to an environment with Python >= 3.8
everyone,
The default version of python on the Raspberry Pi 4 is 3.9. I need python 3.7. I successfully install python 3.7.4 and set it as default by adding the line alias python3='python3.7' to the bashcr file. Then I install opencv using pip3. I got: from .cv2 import *
ImportError: libImath-2_2.so.23: cannot open a shared object file: No such file or directory
I also installed it from the source and got the same result.
I investigated and found out that I need to install libilmbase12, but I got the following error message.
E: The package libilmbase12 could not be found
I appreciate any help.
I found a way. I change raspbian from bullseye to buster. Everything works fine. The problem was the compatibility of python and opencv version
You install OpenCV from bash :
sudo apt install python3-opencv
I installed opencv using the conda command:
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
The installation was successful without errors. Typing conda list also indicates opencv installed. But import cv2 gives the error: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I note the opencv does not show up in the Lib/site-packages folder, but occurs in the pkgs folder, that is, C:\\Anaconda\\Anaconda3.7\\pkgs\\opencv-4.1.1-py37h6afde12_1. The site-packages folder has a file cv2.cp37-win_amd64.pyd;
What is problem with the import cv2 error? Was the conda-based opencv installation really successful? My python version is python3.7.1.
A similar problem has been reported here DLL load failed error when importing cv2
Try to install with pip. 'pip install opencv-python'
Did you install the contribution packages of opencv?
Probably, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the dependencies stack here, but I've installed a Deep Learning project that uses Torch and CUDA: https://github.com/donglixp/lang2logic.
Running the project (e.g. by issuing: ./pretrain.sh seq2seq jobqueries lstm), I get this error:
THCudaCheck FAIL file=/tmp/luarocks_cutorch-scm-1-1028/cutorch/lib/THC/THCGeneral.c line=66 error=30 : unknown error
package cunn not found!
package cutorch not found!
If cutorch and cunn are installed, your CUDA toolkit may be improperly configured.
Check your CUDA toolkit installation, rebuild cutorch and cunn, and try again.
Falling back on CPU mode
~/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/torch/File.lua:343: unknown Torch class <torch.CudaTensor>
The last error by the way, is issued from this self-explanatory piece of lua code, which checks for the availability of the CudaTensor class:
if not torch.factory(className) then
error(string.format('unknown Torch class <%s>', tostring(className)))
end
After getting this error, I also installed Lua's cutorch and cunn through the following commands, which seemed to have finished well.
luarocks install cutorch
luarocks install cunn
But I still get the very same error.
The only installation quirk I've noticed had been that luarocks install class seemed to do nothing, and I'm not running on Scientific Linux as the original author, but rather on Ubuntu 16.04.
I had installed CUDA itself through: sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
How would you address this integration error?
Thanks!
I would have preferred leaving only a comment, but I do not have enough reputation for that yet so here goes.
It seems like you have installation issues. The most obvious thing to try would be to uninstall torch entirely via rm -rf ~/torch and reinstall it following your link's instructions (replacing ClassNLLCriterion.cu file with theirs). Usually, following the instruction here should install cutorch and cunn for you but you can always install them via luarocks as you mentioned. This is also why luarocks install class didn't do anything because it was already installed.
In answer to your comment, torch.CudaTensor as the name suggests is a torch class defined in cutorch. It acts just like any other Tensor class from the torch library but it lives on GPU.
More information on how you installed torch could help.
You also of course need a CUDA compatible device in order to use cutorch.
