Dear DepthAI Experts,

Hello.

I would like to get my hands on the depthai library.

I install it with pip.

I used a new PC (windows 11) and followed the following site.

https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/install/#windows-10

Here are the steps I followed

Choose Windows PowerShell (Admin) and run the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Close the PowerShell and then re-open another PowerShell (Admin) by repeating the first two steps.

Install Python and PyCharm

choco install cmake git python pycharm-community -y

thereafter

Enter the command in Windows PowerShell (Admin)

python -m pip install depthai

However, I get the following error. I do not know how to resolve the error.

Am I missing a step?

Also, is there a solution to the above error?

PS C:\Windows\system32> python -m pip install depthai

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
