Hi, @Paulex-Git! What version of Mac OSX do you have? If Catalina this link can help.

@karfly I'm getting the same on OS Sierra 10.12.1. [[Can't update my OS at the moment for other programs.]] Any other resolution?

@karfly OS Sierra 10.12.2 @harpreets The issue is that the opencv is newer and incompatible with Sierra 10.12, so you need to install a lower version 3.4.5.20 Run: pip install opencv-python==3.4.5.20 After that, open "requirements_client.txt" and change opencv-python==3.4.9.33 to opencv-python==3.4.5.20

Then re-run bash scripts/install_mac.sh

I can confirm that this is a good enhancement: Infact, just change the "requirements_client.txt" value, the bash script will automatically install the indicated version, 3.4.5.20

Upgrading to Catalina will resolve the issue. Though it could be a bit much to run the program. The numpy version change can resolve the issue.
