Running using Python command: python , ImportError: No module named pyproj

Question

Hi, it is my first time asking question on StackOverflow. First, I am trying to use openSFM but it is really hard. As in the picture I wrote command bin/opensfm_run_all data/berlin

but the error keeps coming out like this:

Running using Python command: python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/yjw/OpenSfM/bin/opensfm", line 10, in <module>
    from opensfm import commands
  File "/home/yjw/OpenSfM/opensfm/commands/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from . import extract_metadata

    from opensfm import io
  File "/home/yjw/OpenSfM/opensfm/io.py", line 15, in <module>
    import pyproj
ImportError: No module named pyproj

I did install pyproj by using pip3 install pyproj but I really don't know what the problem is. Can someone help me, please?? Thanks is advance.

Depending on Python version (2,3) you need to install package using pip2 or pip3. 'pip' can be either of the two depending on the system. Install pyproj of same python as the script which is using pyproj is based upon. If main script is python2 install pyproj using pip2 etc. Try going into the python shell or ipython shell. Just type 'python2' or 'python3' in command line. In python shell try importing and testing first. For systems which doesn't have root access. Try using a virtual environment and installing all packages there. Will avoid any such import errors. https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
