Edge Impulse CLI request error

ErickGQ · March 5, 2021, 4:29am

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?

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

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!!!

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

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^

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!

Hola @ErickGQ,

I am having troubles to read the output in your last screenshot but from I understood, you are using python 1.9.X. Correct?
Can you try to install a more recent version of Python and / or update node-gyp: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/cli-installation#error-cant-find-python-executable-windows

Regards,

Louis

ErickGQ · October 19, 2021, 4:05pm

Hello @louis,

I have python 3.10 right now, I also run this command npm install node-gyp@latest -g and get the next information

C:\Users\52333>npm install node-gyp@latest -g

added 94 packages, and audited 95 packages in 29s

3 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details

found 0 vulnerabilities

After that I run these commands

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

and I get the next result

Hello @ErickGQ,

Can you try windows install script to see if this solve your issue please?

Regards,

Louis

ErickGQ · October 21, 2021, 5:51pm

Hello @louis I try all the steps in this link (also instal git), but I didn’t work

What else can I try?
Thank you for your help!!!

rjames · October 23, 2021, 6:32am

Hi @ErickGQ,

From your screenshot it looks like edge-impulse-cli can’t be found however there’s some lingering files.

Can you try removing (perhaps manually) the following:

C:\Users\52333\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\edge-impulse-cli\
C:\Users\52333\AppData\Roaming\npm\edge-impulse-daemon\

Then try running install-windows.ps1 again.

ErickGQ · October 23, 2021, 10:57pm

Hi @rjames,

this is what I see in one step previous to the final step

I don’t have the “edge-impulse-cli” nor “edge-impulse-daemon” files.

What else can I try?
Thank you for your help!

rjames · October 26, 2021, 8:10am

@ErickGQ,

Ok great can you check also this path:

C:\Users\52333\AppData\Roaming\npm\edge-impulse-daemon\

If there’s nothing there (at both locations). Try re-running the script and pasting the output.
