How to use my Opencv installation in environments

Technical Topics Package Builds

Hi community,
I have a pc with GPU and I make my own compilation of OpenCV (cv2) with my GPU.

I installed Anaconda and with the base environment everythig runs ok. The problem is when I tried to create a new environment, I cannot use my previously installed cv2, because it don’t apears in the package list (anaconda navigator) it only appears in the site-packages directory, but, even copying it to the new env I cannot use cv2.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Good morning,

Thank you for reaching out, the environments are isolated from each other, if you installed a package in one environment you will have to install it again in the new one, in this case:

conda install -n ENVNAME opencv

Tell us if you need anything else.

Thanx Carlos,

I knew that, the problem is that I’m using my own compilation of OpenCV to take profit of my RTX3060 GPU.

I undestand with Anaconda I must do a new compilation for every environment.

I did another solution that was make an independet Python + OpenCV with GPU installation and then install Anaconda as an IDE. I put my own cv2 installation into the PATH vble. and it works well.

Kindest regards.
