I’ve also followed the Luis suggestion from this post : Problems installing edge impulse cli - #6 by txol but without fix the issue and with this additional error :

Hi @bob63

If you look it the FAQ / troubleshooting you will see steps to resolve both python and node problems:

Python -

Hope this helps.

Hi Eoin , now it works after have followed these procedures.
Tks.

bob63 · May 12, 2024, 1:19pm

Hi @Eoin , I think to have shouting victory too early.
The procedure you provided have worked on my PC with w10 .
Today I’m looking to do the same on a pc with W11 but isn’t working .
I’ve followed all steps in the procedure then installed node js v19.8.1 including the additional tools but when i try to install the edge impulse client i got the errors that you see at the bottom . Take in consideration that I’ve followed step by step the same procedure that on W10 has worked perfectly.

From the below screenshoot seems that all the prerequisite packages are installed correctly .

Note : The same problem occur also using the latest version of Node JS v22.1.0

Is becoming really frustating lose so much time to set up the Edge Impluse client on this machine.
