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
In my experience, you need to install exactly Visual Studio 2019 for Windows (it looks like you have the 2022 version installed). You will likely need to uninstall and reinstall node.js and the CLI tool. Please try the following troubleshooting steps in these threads:
