To install the OpenCV library in VSCode, you need to first install Python and its package management tool, pip. Then follow the steps below to complete the installation.

  1. Open VSCode and create a new Python project.
  2. Open the terminal in VSCode by clicking on “Terminal” in the menu bar and selecting “New Terminal”.
  3. Run the following command in the terminal to install the OpenCV library:
pip install opencv-python

This will automatically download and install the OpenCV library.

  1. In Python code, you can test by importing the OpenCV library with the following code:
import cv2

# 测试是否成功导入OpenCV库
print(cv2.__version__)

This code will print the version number of the installed OpenCV library. Printing the version number successfully indicates that the OpenCV library was installed successfully.

Before installing OpenCV, make sure you have successfully installed Python and pip, and have set the environment variables for Python.
