ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyrealsense2' after successful $ sudo make install

[monacv]

After sudo make install, still I cannot import it:

$ python estimate_plane.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "estimate_plane.py", line 9, in <module>
    import pyrealsense2 as rs

and I have:

I also have:

Hi @monacv Could you tell me which computer or computing device you are using please? Bear in mind that:

1. pip install cannot be used with pyrealsense2 for Python 3.8 and the Python wrapper therefore has to be installed from source code for 3.8, as discussed in https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/issues/8163

2. If you are using a device with an Arm processor such as Raspberry Pi or Nvidia Jetson, you will still not be able to use pip install if you use Python versions earlier than 3.8, such as 3.6 or 3.7. This is because the pip pyrealsense2 packages are only compatible with computers with x86 or x64 processors and will not work with Arm processors.

Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson have their own methods of building the Python wrapper. If you have a Pi or Jetson then I will direct you to the appropriate installation information.

actually I installed again without doing the sudo make install and working all the steps until end of make and that worked
