prashant.s · February 17, 2022, 2:05pm

Hello,
I want to connect himax_we_plus Eval board to linux PC and want to see video streaming (first step).
Once above step is done then have to create build environment in linux to build my own application.
I tried in windows environment and able to connect to edge studio but getting error in linux PC.
Getting error when executing below command
“npm install edge-impulse-linux”
node version: v10.19.0
npm version: 6.14.4

using linux pc

Hi @prashant.s,

Looks like you have an old version of Node (v10), you need Node v14 or higher: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/cli-installation

Aurelien

prashant.s · February 17, 2022, 2:14pm

Tried many ways to install updated node.js
npm install -g npm
but didn’t updated to v14 or higher

aurel · February 17, 2022, 2:52pm

You probably need to update the list of packages from the repo first (ie: apt-get update).

But best is to just follow the Node link or the command line in our doc:

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 4:53am

Because to resolve previous post error. I tried below commands
npm cache clean --force
npm fund
npm audit fix --force

After this again executed “edge-impulse-daemon” but still same issue. below image shows error for above commands:

Hello @prashant.s,

It seems that there are only warnings here in your logs, can you try again this npm install -g edge-impulse-cli command? and run the edge-impulse-deamon after?

I suspect the npm audit fix --force to have uninstall for necessary package.

If it still does not work, can you completely remove NodeJS from your linux machine and follow the installation procedure @aurel shared before?

Regards,

Louis

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 8:40am

i tried executing edge-impulse-deamon but it didnt worked.
Will remove nodejs and follow procedure shared by aurel.

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 8:53am

This time something more logs are displayed while installing but again same issue
edge-impulse-deamon: command not found

Is there any other commands to be executed…

louis · February 18, 2022, 10:15am

Maybe you can try this installation method if none of the above work:

Let me know of the outcome

Regards,

Louis

Maybe a dumb remark but have you tried to close and reopen your terminal and try again?

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 10:44am

you want me to try

above once again by reopening terminal…?

louis · February 18, 2022, 10:48am

No just quit your terminal and try again the edge-impulse-daemon command to see if it can find the command.

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 10:49am

NOT worked, still issue persists…

louis · February 18, 2022, 10:55am

Alright, then maybe you can try some of @janjongboom’s tips from here: Edge-impulse-daemon: command not found

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 11:07am

Not getting
“.npm-packages/bin/edge-impulse-daemon”
above path

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 11:22am

tried to create by using
ln -s /home/emqos24/.npm-global/bin /usr/local/bin/edge-impulse-daemon

command but got error.

prashant.s · February 18, 2022, 11:39am

Added to path also but same issue.
