tensorflow object detection: loading label map

Question

I am facing error in loading label map after running following command:

List of the strings that is used to add correct label for each box.

PATH_TO_LABELS = 'models/research/object_detection/data/mscoco_label_map.pbtxt'
category_index = label_map_util.create_category_index_from_labelmap(PATH_TO_LABELS, use_display_name=True)

error:

NotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)

Set the python path and give the full path for the file from home directory.

For more information about python path see the below link -
