My python version = 3.10.0.
My Visual Studio code version = 1.61.0
I also tried downloading OpenCV (https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/4.5.4/opencv-4.5.4-vc14_vc15.exe/download) and saved it in C:.
I already have numpy installed by pip.

I tried using both my command prompt and terminal in Visual Studio code. I tried the following commands: pip3 install opencv-python pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

OpenCV successfully downloads, but does not install. However, both result in large error statements after the "installing build dependencies" step. I see Error Failed building wheel for numpy. Failed to build numpy Error: Could not build wheels for numpy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based project

I would really appreciate help on resolving this issue. Please let me know if you want to see more of the error.

Numpy has not yet released a wheel for python 3.10. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/69465693/9177877 – It_is_Chris Oct 14 '21 at 20:53
Is this numpy required to install opencv? I'm not able to install opencv. Thank you. – user17020095 Oct 15 '21 at 00:45

yes, numpy is a dependency for opencv. – It_is_Chris Oct 17 '21 at 16:13
