+Before running the Python samples, please manually replicate OpenVINO folders structure with Python modules:
+- create an empty folder `openvino/inference_engine`
+- move built `ie_api.so` and `__init__.py` files from the `<build_folder>/inference_engine` to `openvino/inference_engine` folder
+- create an empty `__init__.py` file in the `openvino` folder
+- add the root folder where `openvino` folder is located to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
+- add the folder with Inference Engine libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable on Linux (or PATH on Windows).
