I NEED THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF OPENCV WHICH IS 2.4 :)

Hi, I am using OpenCV2 for face recognition, but the version that is supported in Pythonanywhere is 3 and above. How can I install the previous version of OPENCV please. I badly need it now for our thesis. Thank you :)

what makes you think we have opencv3 and not opencv2? I believe we have opencv 2.4.9 for python2.7

it's already installed for you. from a python2.7 console/script, you just need to import cv2
