for CLI installation in windows did we have to use windows power shell. also I have visual studio installed using visual community and additional package of node.js i.e. chocolatey but still I am facing the same issue.
Hello @apoorv,
Could you try opening your powershell or command prompt as administrator and see if that works?

@louis I wanted to know whether an application would be installed in the start menu or not because when I installed it, it is only showing that some files are installed in ‘c’ drive but no application of name edge impulse is showing in the start menu. I am confused about it.
Hello @apoorv,
It looks like your installation was successful, the CLI tools won’t show up in the start menu since they are Command Line Interface tools. It will be used as a gloabl npm package accessible directly from a terminal.
Regards,
Louis

BTW, I just tried to do a fresh install using:
- python 3.9: https://www.python.org/downloads/ (do not forget to tick the add Python 3.9 to PATH checkbox when using the installer)
- nvm (Node Version Manager) for Windows https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows
And I used Power Shell as Administrator.

Some issues need review, and may require choosing

Run `npm audit` for details.
And now I can use any of Edge Impulse CLI tools.
I hope this can help for those who still have troubles installing the CLI on Windows. Note that it is a bit overkill to install visual studio community to install node-gyp, I haven’t tried @aurel suggestion as I wasn’t sure it was provided with nvm but it should worth giving it a try.

@louis Is edge impulse only applicable for devices mentioned in the document file or it can also run in stm32F446RE.
This question is not really related to edge-impulse-cli installation I guess. I suggest you to create another thread for questions not related to this topic.
But to answer you very quickly, we are hardware agnostic although we do fully support several boards / eval kits but you can always download the C++ libraries, the tflite files, after you trained your model, and use the data-forwarder (or the API, the upload portals, etc…) to ingest your data.
So yes, it will be able to run on the stm32F446RE.

i have the same trouble. I dont know why Visual Studio 2022 install Build Tools 2017, the
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools was crash and hang.
With VS Build Tools 2017 and npm config set msvs_version 2017 the install was successful.
Hello @RickorDD,
Glad you make it work with VS Build Tools 2017 and npm config set msvs_version 2017! Good to know for the community. Thanks for sharing!

When installing edge-impulse-cli I get these messages, I’ve tried several paths and I still haven’t got a solution, can someone help me?
I installed Edge impulse cli and I am getting the error while running edge-impulse-data-forwarder
I am new to this, am I doing this wrong?
I have installed and reinstalled things like VS, node js multiple times.
@arijit_das_student @louis-demo
@hazem.kudaimi Have you tried re-installing from the beginning? Like from downloading VS from the Microsoft website and installing the C++ Desktop redistributables, and then trying to install the CLI?
No, I will try it. Thanks!
Hello @hazem.kudaimi,
Some users also reported that after a computer reboot it worked
