total nexwbie here.

I'm unsuccessfully trying to install the cv2 module for python but it doesn't work. I'm working with Python 3.6 (64bits)

I typed the following commands in the cmd : 

C:\Users\leahj>C:\Users\leahj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\pip3 install cv2
Collecting cv2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for cv2

C:\Users\leahj>C:\Users\leahj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\pip3 install opencv
Collecting opencv
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for opencv

C:\Users\leahj>C:\Users\leahj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\pip3 install opencv2
Collecting opencv2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for opencv2

I tried to look for answers on this site but couldn't find any. The most accurate thing I found was that : https://breakthrough.github.io/Installing-OpenCV/ but it seems that I have to go back to an older version of Python ?
