I ultimately got this to work, but I hit many stumbling blocks.
I followed this on Windows 10:
https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_windows.html
I can run the demos. I want to run classification_sample.py. However, I see this:
https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_inference_engine_ie_bridges_python_docs_api_overview.html
Which says I want to run this:
<INSTALL_DIR>\deployment_tools\inference_engine\python_api\setenv.bat
Which doesn't exist (the folder python_api is missing).
According to the following post, that's a documentation error
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-distribution-of-openvino-toolkit/topic/810679
And instead, I should run setupvars.bat under C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino_2019.1.148\bin . OK, Done.
The page https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_IE_DG_Samples_Overview.html says I should go to <INSTALL_DIR>/deployment_tools/inference_engine/samples/python_samples for the inference sample. It's actually in <INSTALL_DIR>/deployment_tools/inference_engine/samples/python
No module named 'cv2'
pip install opencv-python
No module named 'openvino'. D'Oh. That's what I thought I just installed.
Insight: I've been using powershell. Just try CMD. It works!
