Its finally here! Welcome to my tutorial for installing and setting up Tensorflow 2 Object Detection! This tutorial goes over how to install Tensorflow 2 and get object detection up and running. I try to cover as many possible errors you may find when trying to do this yourself so that you can skip the headaches and get right to object detecting!

Common Tensorflow 2 fixes:
“protoc not found” – make sure you add protoc to path and also do “conda install protobuf”
“numpy not found” – make sure to do “conda install numpy”
