Hi @User_dna5,
When you’re saying that you’ve tried the hacker guide, do you mean this one?
Hacker’s guide to the Raspberry Pi AI kit on Ubuntu | Ubuntu

Can you tell how far have you been able to proceed?

Hey @Sudhanshu_Ranjan,

Welcome to the Hailo Community!

It looks like the tappas Python binding isn’t installed or might not be installed correctly.

Could you try running pip list | grep hailo inside your virtual environment? This will help us check if the bindings are there - these are what let you grab the postprocess results for each frame.

Let me know what you find!
