Hi @EdwardHiscoke .
As Brandon mentioned, we started on work to make examples in depthai-python/examples standalone, instead of having to run them as part of CMake build procedure.
I have added requirements.txt for standalone usage and Lukasz is working on model compiler that'll take care of model conversion and downloading.
Hopefully it lands soon

Hi @EdwardHiscoke ,
Sorry about the trouble here. We were just discussing how we should make the models auto-download. We will be adding this. And actually in our older version of the API (Gen1) we had this. But in refactoring everything it ended up being removed. Long story, but we're going to add it back cleaner.
In the mean time, you can download the models for each example on the docs page for the example. So for the example you are running, this is here:
https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/samples/08_rgb_mobilenet/
And the model itself (linked on that page) is here: https://artifacts.luxonis.com/artifactory/luxonis-depthai-data-local/network/mobilenet-ssd_openvino_2021.2_6shave.blob
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brandon
