How to import cv2 module in Pycharm?
Hello.
Today I installed openCV2.4 (and module cv2).
I can import cv2 when I use python from terminal, but I imported cv2 and run on Pycharm, an error occurred “no module named cv2”.
When I use Pycharm(or .py scripts), Should I make any special settings for import newly installed module?

me too, i don't know how to do.
me too, i managed to install open cv but unable to use it in pycharm. plz help
In my case I thought I had the same issue too, after installing it it can't resolve anything about the module:
but if I actually hit run anyway it works, maybe it has issue to autocomplete because opencv really comes as a compiled library (and for performace reason it makes sense) and doesn't have many python files, I found this comment related to a windows installation:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18672087/autocomplete-for-opencv-python-in-windows-not-working
and checking my installation this is what I found:

Hi~I can find where the `cv2.cpython-36m-darwin.so` locate, but I don't get a folder named **cv2** on the file path
Where can I find it?
has anyone find how to fix that problem? i am having the same issue....
You must choose correct "Project interpreter" in project settings (PyCharm IDE). If you have already installed Open CV on virtualenv, you must choose this virtual interpreter in settings too.
This answer is 100% wrong, people keep answering the same question with the same answer and it's so obvious that they've not even tried to do this themselves.
