error importing sam2

[qycherry]

I get error with following lines:
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2
from sam2.sam2_image_predictor import SAM2ImagePredictor
the message says：Unresolved reference 'sam2'
I have already excuted the command : pip install -e ".[notebooks]"
but I still can not import the package “sam2”

and another question，why is the root directory doesn't contain init.py，is this the reason？

could you please help？thanks

Hi @qycherry, it's likely because the installation didn't work properly. In case reinstallation doesn't resolve the issue, you can try manually adding it to the path as follows

export PYTHONPATH=<your-path-to-sam2-repo>

where <your-path-to-sam2-repo> is the repo path you cloned that contains the sam2 directory.
