can't use cv2 after pip install albumentations on azure vm

[firasam]

hello all. recently i
installed albumentations (https://pypi.org/project/albumentations/#installation)
using pip install comand on jupyter notebook on azure vm. and after i install it i cant use cv2 because if i import cv2 it will throw the following error:""ImportError: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

judging by this link
https://albumentations.ai/docs/faq/#i-successfully-installed-the-library-but-when-i-am-trying-to-import-it-i-receive-an-error-importerror-libxrenderso1-cannot-open-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or-directory

seems like the solution is to do sudo apt-get update to update the cv2 and the depedencies. but i can't do it on the jupyter docker on the azure vm. is there any way to fix this?

Hi @firasam,

In order to use apt you'll need to access the container shell as root.
First access the VM terminal, from there you can access the Jupyter container as root:

cd /opt/odc
sudo docker-compose exec -u root jupyter bash

From there you can apt-get install ... to your hearts content!
