Hope this is helpful for others. I have tested it on Mojave. Great library!

Thanks. Every time I run this I get the error below. Any chance you can help? Thanks!

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

@srego Which part are you trying to run?

when I run the "python3 webcam_demo.py" and the error below pops up
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Session'
ts 2.0 cpu was installed after pip install command

Uninstalling ts 2 and installing ts 1 will solve the problem, but a bunch of warning will show up

Well, it doesn't quite work:

python3 image_demo.py 
[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor_database.cc:394] Invalid file descriptor data passed to EncodedDescriptorDatabase::Add().
[libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:1359] CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): 
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type google::protobuf::FatalException: CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size):

you can try to change tf.Session() to tf.compat.v1.Session()
