With SageMaker Studio: Object Detection Birds - ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On SageMaker Studio, you get the following error (it doesn't occur with SageMaker classic)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here's how to fix it:

Install opencv-python-headless instead of opencv-python. Server (headless) environments do not have GUI packages installed which is why you are seeing the error. opencv-python depends on Qt which in turn depends on X11 related libraries.

Not sure what was causing the issue, but I was able to run the notebook successfully end-to-end with the kernel "Python 3 (MXNet 1.8 Python 3.7 CPU Optimized)" on a t3.medium notebook instance.

To clarify, it's this notebook: https://github.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-examples/blob/master/introduction_to_amazon_algorithms/object_detection_birds/object_detection_birds.ipynb
