ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv_bridge' IN windows10 running foxy

Question

I was following this tutorial https://automaticaddison.com/getting-started-with-opencv-in-ros-2-foxy-fitzroy-python/ to implement a simple ros2 image publisher and subscriber. everything was built but then when I launched the node it gave the error (cv_bridge not found).

I am on Windows10 running Ros2 (Foxy).

please help me solve this

PROGRESS.... after that, i found a cv_bridge git repo https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv/tree/ros2 so i cloned it and colcon build it but then it is giving me the following error

Starting >>> cv_bridge

--- stderr: cv_bridge

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

There is no need to install cv_bridge from source if you are using ROS on Windows.

Check rospack find cv_bridge if has been properly installed.

Please refer to this thread for more info: https://github.com/ms-iot/ROSOnWindows/issues/317
