Problems installing edge impulse cli

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
npm ERR! audit Original error: loadVirtual requires existing shrinkwrap file

npm ERR! C:\Users\Iñaki\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2021-05-18T09_41_16_553Z-debug.log

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

If anyone could help I’d really appreciate it!! :slight_smile:

Hello @txol,

Can you try using this command:

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

Let me know if it works.

Regards,

Louis

Hello @louis! Thanks for your answer. unfortunately I still get this:

It seems that the logs you are showing after the npm install edge-impulse-cli -g --force are only warnings. I guess it should work now. Let me know :slight_smile:

Aren’t these (at the end of my previous message) the same errors that I was getting before?

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 kept going with the process and the “edge-impulse-daemon” command is not recognised as such.
Thank you very much!!

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.

Alternatively, you can remove your npm package by doing npm uninstall -g edge-impulse-cli.
And then use this script for the installation:

@txol FYI you can use this too https://www.edgeimpulse.com/blog/collect-sensor-data-straight-from-your-web-browser as a quick workaround while @louis is figuring out what’s going on :slight_smile:

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).

Thank you!! I’ll give it a try if the edge-impulse-daemon keeps avoiding me :wink:

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 :slight_smile:

Hola @luis1993,

Sorry for the delay, I missed your question…
Which OS are you using? You can follow this to add edge-impulse-cli to your PATH: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/cli-installation#installation---linuxubuntu-and-raspbian-os

Hola @luis1993

Aquí hay algunas opciones que pueden ayudarte:

  • Reinicia tu computadora
  • Asegúrate de estar usando Python 3.7 o superior.
  • Reinstala nodeJS v14 o superior y asegúrate de instalar “chocolately” (not selected by default):

Espero que esto pueda ayudarte

Louis
