Issue with conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.1.0

[mwhayford]

With Windows 7 , after the condo install -c menpo opencv3=3.1.0 step,
I get UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:

• opencv3 3.1.0* -> python 2.7*
• python 3.6*

conda info opencv3=3.1.0 returns

NoPackagesFoundError: Package missing in current win-64 channels:

• opencv3 3.1.0*

Using anaconda search -t conda opencv3, the menpo/opencv3 version 3.2.0 should have a win-64 version available. but changing the top statement to use opencv3=3.2.0 but that doesnt seem to work either. Does anyone have some insight on how to solve this issue I'm having with the included instructions?

@asimay , I had the same issues as you did. but I got successful installation using channel https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/opencv.
OR, use ' conda install -c conda-forge opencv=3.2.0 ' command;
my conda version is 4.2.13.

Thanks for pointing out the right channel 'conda-forge'. I have been searching for this as the official Anaconda site points to a channel 'menpo' where the package is missing!

Thank you. conda forge worked!

Using conda-forge works for me too. Thanks!

Looks like this was solved with conda-forge above; closing.

Opencv3 from conda-forge works like charm. Thanks!
