Hi! I am a new edge impulse and arduino user and I am having problems with the edge impulse cli. I’ ve just installed the latest python and node updates and when i type “npm install -g edge-impulse-cli” in the cmd I get these errors:
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

I tried the suggestion ( “npm i --package-lock-only”) and this is what I get :
npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path C:\Windows\System32\package-lock.json
npm ERR! errno -4048

Hello there!! I’ve tried running the command prompt as an admin. It aparently works since I don’t get any more errors with de edge-impulse-cli installation. However, the “edge-impulse-daemon” command is still not recognised as such. This is my command prompt screen.

Thanks @louis!! the script seems to work fine when it comes to downloading but the edge-impulse-daemon command is still not recognised in the command prompt nor the powershell (I’ve also followed the firmware and arduino-cli instructions).
I finally got it wright!! after following your instructions with the script I just needed to add the edge-impulse-daemon folder to path. Thank you so much @louis
