In brief:
-
Installing edge-impulse-cli exactly as documented in the doc fails (error further down below)
-
Attempts at using higher versions of nodejs failed also (different error, see below).
Note that I can install edge-impulse-linux without any issue. -
OS: debian based pop-os 22.04, linux kernel 6.2.
-
NodeJS tested version: v14 (installed as in the edgeimpulse doc, using sudo apt install … ); 16.20.1, 18.16.1 and latest 20.4.0
There’s been some reports about the edge impulse CLI failing to install on windows (see: Edge impulse cli installation error), and some on linux (ex. Issue with Linux CLI install - #2 by louis), but the windows solution doesn’t apply (I still did try to remove nodejs, nvm, …) and the linux question suggests a higher version of nodejs which i have tried.
The errors
Error when installing as in the doc, also tried as root as mentioned by @janjongboom in Issue with Linux CLI install - #2 by louis, but root or not, it fails in the same way.
