As explained in the documentation, Colmap needs to be compiled and visible in the path. Have you done that?

Thanks @etrulls .
I've followed the install guide, and solve the problem. https://colmap.github.io/install.html

Then I get another error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise RuntimeError('Parts of colmap runs returns failed state!')

and fix the problem locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid with :
export LC_ALL=“C"

Thanks again, @etrulls .
