# Create LP recognizer with default configuration
lpr = degirum_vehicle.LicensePlateRecognizer(
    degirum_vehicle.LicensePlateRecognizerConfig()
)

# Process a demo image
result = lpr.predict(remote_assets.car)

for plate in result.license_plates:
    print(f"Plate: {plate.plate_number}, OCR Score: {plate.ocr_score:.2f}")

If this runs without errors, the package is installed correctly!
