Solve by install openCV-Python explicitly first using !pip install opencv-python==4.2.0.34 before running !pip install imgaug As the older version of opencv-python doesn't require wheel compilation.

It happened to me as well while i was downloading pip install opencv-python Just go to the preferences, go to python interpreter and then check for the wheels package and delete it by clicking on it and pressing the minus mark next to the add mark. This error comes because to download it, the package should first build thousands of dependencies for wheels as opencv is a big package. If you uninstall wheels then they don't have to build dependencies. Note that uninstalling wheels won't affect anything in the code. I have a mac and use pycharm as the IDE so, i am not sure whether it works on other devices.

This is a image of the the interpreter that is after uninstalling wheels

If you are using Raspberry pi then use command pip install opencv-python==4.5.3.56 then update numpy using pip install -U numpy and then install package you need to install which has OpenCV dependency.
