Edge Impuse CLI Installation Error

Help

I’m trying to install Edge Impulse CLI on MacOS but I’m getting the following error :

  $     npm install -g edge-impulse-cli

Hi @jonathanrjpereira ,

Do you have the xcode developer tools installed? From your command line: xcode-select --install

Then try re-installing the CLI.

Let me know if this works!

Hi jenny,

I tried this and worked for me. I have macOS Monterrey 12.3.1

After install CLI I got a few warnings/vulneravilities:

added 372 packages, and audited 373 packages in 47s

12 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

5 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 3 high)

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Run `npm audit` for details.

I ran npm audit fix --force and got this:

npm WARN using --force Recommended protections disabled.
npm ERR! code ENOLOCK
npm ERR! audit This command requires an existing lockfile.
npm ERR! audit Try creating one first with: npm i --package-lock-only
npm ERR! audit Original error: loadVirtual requires existing shrinkwrap fil

So I ran npm i --package-lock-only and as result I got:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /Users/name/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/name/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

Despites looks it did not work, I ran npm audit to check the status and magically now I have:

found 0 vulnerabilities

To double check I ran npm audit fix --force again and…

up to date, audited 1 package in 333ms

found 0 vulnerabilities

Thanks!

I am having a similar problem on my Mac. We tried the xcode install and it didn’t work, any ideas?
