From the above warning, I understood that I need to install opencv4nodejs.
So in cmd, I entered "npm I opencv4nodejs"
So when I entered that I got one more issue which I am not able to understand because it is telling me to install python which I don't know why?
Because I am using javascript to write the code why there is a need to install python.
