Unable to launch cellpose 2.0 GUI on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

[jelstrott]

I was able to install Cellpose 2.0 following the recommended terminal commands below:

conda create --name cellpose python=3.8
conda activate cellpose
python -m pip install cellpose[gui]

However, when I attempt to launch the gui I get error below. Any thoughts how to troubleshoot this?

best,
Justin

hmm it looks like python 3.9 or 3.10, might work, please try that? https://opencv.org/opencv-python-for-apples-m1-chip-a-detective-story-with-a-happy-ending/
