[>_<] Edge Impulse CLI is not installed.
Hmm, looks like Python is not installed, I guess you’ve followed the instructions at Installation - Edge Impulse Documentation?
Python is installed but for some reason it can’t seem to find it.
Try to run this command and reinstall again
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
Do you get an error message if you in a command prompt write python3 and press Enter?
If so, try first rebooting the computer to see if it helps
EDIT: Assuming you have a Windows-computer from the log you included
