Hello! I wanted to use a roboflow model for my Jetson 2GB Nano so I followed all the directions for the setup. I got to the part where you replace the roboflow website with localhost. I copied the example, putting base64 in front of my .jpg file (a file that was, by the way, already on my Jetson). I got this error when I tried to run the command. What does it mean/what do you recommend I do? Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙂

“error”: {  
“message”: “Image parameter not found.”,  
“type”: “InvalidParameterException”,  
“hint”: “Pass a base64 encoded image as the request body or a (url-encoded) image url in the query string as `image`.”
