I'm trying to install OpenCV with Anaconda prompt. I've tried the anaconda and conda-forge versions.

After using the article's mentioned command:-

conda install -c menpo opencv

I get the following messages:-

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

It looks like hdf5 is conflicting with your instalation. You should try to create a new virtual environement using conda, and from this venvironement remove hdf5 before installing openCV. You'll be safe this way.

You can do something like :

conda create --name test_env
conda activate test_env
conda remove hdf5
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
