Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this and maybe this might be an easy question but I can't seem to import cv2 with the code in the tutorial.
\n\nAny thoughts on how to move forward?
\n\nI'm running an AWS instance with g2.8xlarge with the NVIDIA software installed.
\n\nAny help would be appreciated!
\n\nThanks, \nJohn
