Unable to install openCV

[Vijayjangra21]

After running every command on the link: https://jetson-docs.com/libraries/opencv/l4t32.7.1/py3.8.0

I'm not able to install openCV 4.8.0

After running the command python3 -c "import cv2; print('OpenCV version:', str(cv2.__version__)); print(cv2.getBuildInformation())" and while trying to import the opencv library I get the following error:

python3
Python 3.8.0 (default, Dec  9 2021, 17:53:27)
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: OpenCV loader: missing configuration file: ['[config-3.8.py](http://config-3.8.py/)', 'config-3.py']. Check OpenCV installation

Pls note: I've added the line: export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH in the bashrc file.

Since I've installed python 3.8, I also tried replacing the abov line with: export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH in the bashrc file, but the same Error persists.

How do I resolve this error?

Hello!
You are using the jetson nano right?

I will look into that, in the meanwhile, have you considered using the docker image with python3.8.0 and opencv 4.8.0?

Any news on this issue?
