import cv2 in Sagemaker Studio jupyter notebook throws ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I have run pip install opencv-python however when I do import cv2 I get this error ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I tried the steps described here too https://docs.opencv.org/4.4.0/d2/de6/tutorial_py_setup_in_ubuntu.html

How will this work if you don't have root access to the host where **Jupyter** runs on? – Konstantin A. Magg Oct 13 '21 at 19:20
!pip install opencv-python-headless instead of !pip install opencv-python should do the trick – Norod78 Dec 09 '21 at 07:37

If your environment does not allow you to sudo, you can instead of the standard opencv-python package, get the headless version of it

!pip install opencv-python-headless

which brings its binaries with it
