I am attempting to follow the instructions here for Linux.

I navigate to the directory and execute the directed command, but I get an error that the python 3.8 shared objected can't be found

>./metashape-pro/python/bin/python3.8 -m pip install numpy cv2 shutil

./metashape-pro/python/bin/python3.8: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I also tried the libssl install as directed, without success.

I am working in a conda virtual environment, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Hi, this worked for me:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=metashape-pro/python/lib/ metashape-pro/python/bin/python3.8 -m pip install numpy

Can confirm this works on Ubuntu 21.10. Successfully installed numpy and opencv-python.
