Cant find data forwarder

Hi all, i cant get the data forwarder working, i have followed all the download and install instructions, install the Additional Node.js tools, tried to versions of node.js. still nothing, there is probably some simple thing im forgetting…

when i check the PATH it seems right as discussed in another post, but in my C:\Users\karla\AppData\Roaming\npm folder there is the files, but in the file path below, it seems to be looking for them in a different location: i do not have the sub folders: \node_modules\edge-impulse-cli\build\cli in my \npm folder…

anyone help me?

see error below:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> edge-impulse-data-forwarder
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
throw err;
^

Hi @kwfb,

Looks like the CLI is not correctrly installed.

Can you try:

npm uninstall -g edge-impulse-cli
npm install -g edge-impulse --force

and paste errors if any?

If you still have issues you can also try the install script: https://github.com/edgeimpulse/ei-install-scripts

Yes it worked for me but i changed ;
npm install -g edge-impulse --force
to
npm install -g edge-impulse-cli --force
Thanks…

It seems there was a small typo in @aurel 's message.

This is correct.

npm install -g edge-impulse-cli --force

Best,

Louis

I’m getting this error trying to install edge impulse. I installed Node.js 5 times now.

Hello @kkjoshi999,

Reading from your log outputs, have you installed Visual Studio including the “Desktop development with C++”?

Best,

Louis

i do what u say but still it say module not found

pls help me ASAP
i stuck in this in 2 week already

Hi @Amin_T

Can you share screenshots of the install steps you took for the visual studio install? It’s very easy to miss the checkbox and miss the required tools as Louis suggested.

If this isn’t the step please share more details of the steps you took. A new forum post would be best here with details of your exact error and environment. Please fill the template so we can help unblock you :relaxed:

Best
