After following the nRF Connect SDK Installation instructions and attempting to build an example for one of the boards I am running into an issue with a ninja dependency. It seems some of the python dependencies were not installed properly in the toolchain. I manually added the ninja module with '~/ncs/toolchains/7795df4459/usr/bin/python -m pip install ninja' (as well as the dependency for west), and the python venv that I am using also has the ninja dependency. I'm suspecting that something has gone wrong during the toolchain installation but I was sure to follow the exact steps for the 'Command line' setup.
I also don't see ninja listed as a python dependency here.
I'm on Linux (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed).
I setup the ncs-example-application, just to verify that my toolchain is working and that I'm able to build any app.
It seems to me that the README.md here is outdated since it suggests to build the application with 'west build -b $BOARD app' but app does not exist after initializing with the initialization steps. However, that's besides the point, I'm just looking to get my toolchain installed properly.
So, instead I decided to attempt a build of zigbee_weather_station app, this is where I'm running into my toolchain issue:

I have been spending some time on this but now I'm not sure how to proceed. I did deviate slightly from the setup because I ran into a shared library issue when using the toolchain-manager shell, I 'resolved' this by initializing the west repository without it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77763185/missing-shared-library-libunistring-so-2-while-setting-up-nrf-connect-sdk. I don't suspect this to be a cause of problem since it was just about initializing a west repository..
I very much would like to get the toolchain working properly so that I can start the process of building application.
Thank you.
