Edge Impulse CLI request error

[ErickGQ]

Hello,

I have a problem to install Edge Impulse CLI tools, the prompt shows me an error saying that request for node.js is not longer available.

Also I cannot run the Impulse daemon

npm install -g --force edge-impulse-cli
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

Could you check your node and npm version by running and tell what’s the output.

$ node -v
$ npm -v

[ErickGQ]

Thank you for your reply @dhruvsheth ,

this is the information in the CMD window
C:\Users\52333>node -v
v14.16.0

C:\Users\52333>npm -v
6.14.11

[dhruvsheth]

Looking at the version, they should be compatible
What could be the issue @aurel

[aurel]

Looking at the logs it looks like the CLI is correctly installed (request package is only deprecated).

@ErickGQ, running edge-impulse-daemon does not work?

Can you also check that your PATH variable is up-to-date? It should have this entry: C:\Users\52333\AppData\Roaming\npm

Hello @aurel ,

this is the message that I see when I run edge-impulse-daemon

Also you can see in the next picture the PATH to npm

Thank you!

[ErickGQ]

[janjongboom]

It looks like the binary component we use to talk to the serial is not installed. Can you log the full response from:

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

?

Thank you!

Hi @ErickGQ,

I think the “Additional Node.js tools” are not installed. Can you reinstall Node.js and when prompted install Additional Node.js tools?

Aurelien

[ErickGQ]

Hello Aurel,

could you please explain me how to do this process?

[ErickGQ]

Hello,

I opened an application in my computer with the name “Install Additional Tools for Node.js”, I think that this was not clear for me the first time that I try to install all the tools.

After I open this program, a black window similar to a prompt window appear, this window asked me to press any key two times. I did it and a new blue window appear and it started to install several things, this take several minutes but finally finished it.

I guess that the next step was install the command install -g edge-impulse-cli, but I do not why after I run this command nothing else happens.

Do you think that I forgot a step?

[aurel]

Hi @ErickGQ,

This looks good!
Maybe force reinstalling the CLI now that you have the Additional Node.js tools:

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

Aurelien

[ErickGQ]

Thank you very much all of you, is finally working!!!

This is the first picture generated by my arduino, it looks amazing.

Just one final question, is it possible to read analog data from the arduino, right?

Thank you again!!!

[janjongboom]

Yep, see https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/cli-data-forwarder !

[bongchanho]

Hi ErickGQ

I have a same problem

please comment how did you do that…

save newb…

[louis]

Hello @bongchanho,

Can you make sure you have Python 3 and NodeJS v14 or higher?
Are you on Windows? Mac? Linux?

Have you tried @aurel suggestion after installing the Additional Tools for Node.js

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

Let me know how it goes,

Regards,

Louis

[bongchanho]

Hello! @louis

Thanks for reply

Fortunately, I got a help with my friend

He says I got wrong path for edge impulse Client

Anyway I solved it ^0^

[ErickGQ]

Hello,
I hope you can help me again. In March you help me to install all the tools on my computer and until now is working properly, but now I want to install everything on a different computer and I have similar problems. Of course, I tried all the advice that you told me before, but it didn’t work.

Also, I ran the “Install Additional Tools for Node.js” on my computer.

Could you please help me?

Thank you very much!
