Dear Shaimaa Muhammad, the best way to use cv2 library is to download a binary file ready to work in Windows for your python version.
Binary files for Windows are available in this website:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
You should go to the OpenCV part and download the binary by your python version
and your OS architecture.
Let's suppose you have:
Python version 3.6
Windows x64
Then, you should download (either a or b):
a) opencv_python‑3.4.2‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
b)
opencv_python‑3.4.2+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Then in a command prompt console or you should type (a or b):
a) pip install file_path/opencv_python‑3.4.2‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
b) pip install file_path/opencv_python‑3.4.2+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
where file_path is the path of the folder where the *.whl file was downloaded.
OBS: If you have an anaconda prompt, use it instead the common Windows prompt.
