  • opencv-python depthai dependency conflict

Hello,

After installing the depthai-python tools, when subsequently trying to install opencv-python, I get the following dependency error:

depthai-gui 2.0.6 requires depthai==2.13.3.0, but you have depthai 2.20.2.0 which is incompatible.

I would have guessed that 2.20 would do everything as 2.13. How does one get pip install to ignore this?

The full transaction if it helps:

~/dev/depthai$ pip install opencv-python

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Hi @spnsingh
Not sure if we even use the depthai-gui anymore.
Install the latest version of depthai, all examples and cam_test should work fine.

Thanks,
Jaka

    BTW, I just saw the update command from another forum: pip install depthai -U

    Now on currently on depthai-2.24. Is this the version you would recommend I use for all the demos / cam_test operations?

    Hi @spnsingh
    DepthAI repo is for depthai_sdk and calibration.
    DepthAI-python repo is for depthai library, cam test, examples and other utilities.

    I recommend using the latest version of depthai since it's less buggy and supports more nodes.

    Thanks,
    Jaka
