ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openvino.inference_engine' while installing openvino on WSL2

Question

I am working on Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2.

I tried following the steps here to install openvino runtime but it still doesn't work.

I also tried following the steps here with the apt distribution for ubuntu and it also hasn't worked.

Error message:

Answer 1

Starting from OpenVINO™ toolkit 2024, OpenVINO™ C++/C/Python 1.0 APIs have been deprecated. Please refer to OpenVINO™ API 2.0 Transition Guide to migrate Inference Engine-based applications to OpenVINO™ API 2.0.
