Hi,

I follow the insructions on documentation provided but “import ok” causes following errors on my system:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/kurtulus/Downloads/FrontPanel-Ubuntu20.04LTS-x64-5.2.4/API/Python3/SPAD_1/ok.py”, line 14, in swig_import_helper
return importlib.import_module(mname)

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

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

For anyone trying to solve this porblem, it is actually very simple. You will just have to copy libokFrontPanel.so file to your python directory where the installation was achieved. in my case, it is ~/home/anaconda3/envs/myenv/lib
