Hello,

How do I get past this error message, please:

$ edge-impulse-daemon
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/edge-impulse-cli/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:121
        throw e;
        ^

I’m trying to follow the tutorial on Himax WE-I Plus and, of course, cannot find himax-flash-tool either but I’ll spin a separate thread for that issue.

I ran the npm rebuild command and that operation completed without any output. Thanks.

Kind regards.

Hi @baqwas,

Can you try uninstalling the edge-impulse-cli tool and reinstalling it?

npm uninstall edge-impulse-cli -g
npm install edge-impulse-cli@latest -g

If that does not work, you might need to fully uninstall node.js from your system and reinstall it.

Please see the following threads for more information on this issue:

Hello, @shawn_edgeimpulse!

Thanks for the quick response. Your suggestion, uninstall/install, worked without any issues on a multi-user desktop with corresponding privileges. Mercifully, I didn’t have to mess with the node.js installation. :grinning:

Kind regards.

Hello, @shawn_edgeimpulse,

Your solution also solved the missing himax-flash-tool isse. I noticed that it was an npm package and the re-installation step presumably took care of that wheel.

Kind regards.
