Download the file 'yolov3.weights' from the link and save it into your working directory: https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/

I have the same problem. I have tried this and it works for me. Just Give the path where the yolov3.weights, coco.names etc in your darknet folder. Like, right-click where you stored the file and copy the path. Like drive/darkflow/coco.names

Add the absolute path of the cgf and weight files while adding them

example : modelConfiguration = "D:/yoloObj/res/yolov2-tiny.cfg" modelWeights = "D:/yoloObj/res/yolov3-tiny.weights"

! wget "https://pjreddie.com/media/files/yolov3.weights"

Run this command and save the yolo.weight file in yolov3-coco.

I had a similar error and the problem was in file paths. Absolute file paths solved the issue.
