Hi Albertbayazidi,

I just had the same issue on my Manjaro Linux.

Your machine is missing the file libunistring.so.2. The following creates a symbolic link from libunistring.so.5.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5 /usr/lib/libunistring.so.2

Best regards,
Ben

the root cause is nrf sdk tools install it's own binary version git instead of use the distro package version. I don't understand what's the point of this, the distro version works perfect fine.

If you need some special compile options for git, at least, build it while install

Same for pyhton, if you already listed git and python3 as dependency while in the installation steps, why download another version again?

And telling people change their system library to fix YOUR broken binary distribution is NOT ACCEPTABLE

And it's 11 month later, the vscode install SDK function still broken due to this exact same issue
