Cannot import cv2 on PyCharm

Question:

I am trying to import cv2 module in PyCharm, but it shows error.
I tried in terminal as well

pip install opencv-python
pip3 install cv2
pip install opencv-python
pip3 install cv2

and whatnot.

Trying to install opencv-python from terminal shows this

Requirement already satisfied: opencv-python in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages (3.4.1.15)

and trying to install cv2 from terminal shows this 

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for cv2

However, trying to import cv2 on Pycharm shows this :

Answers:

First, install the package named opencv-python via pip install opencv-python or use the GUI.

Second, just input import cv2; that is ok.

Go to File->Settings->Project Interpreter and then add by ‘+’ button ‘opencv-python’ module on this repository.

It downloaded without an error for my PyCharm and also downloaded the dependencies as well.

While creating a new project in PyCharm, please select ‘Base Interpreter’ option from drop-down similar to the one shown in this link:

In my case, I tired several solutions from internet.No luck. But below approach worked fine with me.

In the pycharm interpreter settings, I installed pip & opencv-python.
This worked.
