Trying to run AI900 Cognitive Services on local machine VS Code ended in error

Herman Teo 76

Hello,

I am a new learner to AI900 course. I hope my question not too rudimentary or ludicrous.

I am able to perform the exercise for the Cognitive Services - Computer Vision using the free VM environment provided, albeit only after a short while that I realize I need to deploy my Azure subscription in the VM to do it successfully rather than using the local machine.

Now I am trying to replicate the exercise using my own VS Code and my Azure subscription on my local environment. However, I encountered an error when progressing through the exercise.

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-72a4e0dfff5e> in <module>
----> 1 from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.computervision import ComputerVisionClient
2 from msrest.authentication import CognitiveServicesCredentials
3 from python_code import vision
4 import os
5 get_ipython().run_line_magic('matplotlib', 'inline')

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure'

Several attempts at troubleshooting makes me realize that Cognitive Services may need a VM deployed to work after all. Am I correct to say that?

Or is there a code change I can do to draw the image out to my local machine and perform the analysis?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Herman

Thank you for your quick reply.

Apologies to reference the tutorial. It is "Explore computer vision in Microsoft Azure". Under "Analyze images with the Computer Vision service", there is an "Exercise - Analyze images with the Computer Vision service".

It mentioned that I need a VM to complete the exercise, which I have successfully completed. There is a line "Alternatively, you can clone the lab files from GitHub into your own environment and follow these instructions to set up your environment."

So I replicated the files in my VS Code in local environment. When I try to analyze an image, I cannot retrieve the image and it gives me an error as mentioned above.

Thank you,
Herman

Hi,

This is embarrassing. I did some more investigation, and realized that I did not set up my local environment properly. I followed VS Code to the letter, but neglected Github instructions.

Problem is solved. I am able to run all the tutorials that require a VM.

That said, thank you to @GiftA-MSFT for quickly reaching out to me on my issue.

Kind regards,
Herman

Hi Prithvi,

Thank you for your email.

Have you installed the Visual C++ Redistributable (x64)? And also Python afterwards?

If not, pls got to https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/mslearn-ai900/blob/main/instructions/00%20-%20Local%20development.md

After which when you use VS Code, it should work.

Pls let me know if it works.

Appreciate if it works for you, you may upvote the answer so that people can find it easier.

Thank you,
Herman
