Trouble running tof_test.py and plot_tof_test.py in how_to_build_and_install.md

[eliaskrchnr]

I did the installation, could start the lidar, and it seems like I get some data. When I tried to visualize the data with tof_test.py and plot_tof_test.py following the instructions, I got some errors. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I tried using python3 tof_test.py instead of the suggested python tof_test.py. Only the type of error changed, like it is seen in the picture. I'm glad for help.

Same problem here. Find indicates that ydlidar.py exists & is located where indicated. Directory added to PATH without improvement.
