Now run ‘pip install -e .’ within your SIC repository. This will create a link in your environment to the custom_components folder so that you can easily import your custom components within your other scripts.

Writing the new component (steps 3, 4, and 5)

The work on the new custom component is done. Now, you must change the scripts that you want to use the new component. Here the demo_desktop_camera_facedetection.py is used as an example.

import sys
from pathlib import Path
