Bug

If you install inside of Docker you need to ensure you have additional dependencies otherwise you get an error.

Ideally we should not require these (I think there's a headless version of cv2 we could use). Alternatively maybe we could catch this error and recommend the solve: apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6 -y

Environment

root@C.10017133:/$ pip freeze | grep inference
inference-cli==0.9.15
inference-gpu==0.9.15
inference-sdk==0.9.15

Are you willing to submit a PR?

• Yes I'd like to help by submitting a PR!

Start by reproducing the import failure from the reported inference benchmark command in the Docker environment, following the traceback through inference_cli/main.py, inference_cli/lib/utils.py, and the supervision import of cv2. Determine whether the package can avoid the libGL dependency or must document/install the missing libraries; done means a fresh Docker install can run without this ImportError or gives clear setup guidance.
