    2. Execute the following to enter the directory, for example, /usr/local/lib64/python3.9/site-packages as indicated in the previous step output:
      cd /usr/local/lib64/python3.9/site-packages
    3. Execute the following command to enter the sample-code directory:
      cd ./VisionFive/sample-code/
  2. Under the sample-code directory, execute the following command to run the demo code:
