Hello,

I don’t have an official installation script to share. The native_sim board relies on POSIX features native to Linux, so running it directly on Windows can sometimes cause dependency issues with Ruby, CMake, and POSIX. I recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux, as setting up the native POSIX simulation environment for Zephyr’s unit testing and the nRF Connect SDK is not straightforward on Windows.

Kind regards,
Abhijith

The following is executed in a Cmd prompt:

C:\>ruby -h
Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]

Rather than having to follow the web page installation procedures, do you have an installation scripts that would perform a complete system install when applied to a clean Tier 1 Ubuntu 22.04 installation?

Hello,

Could the issue be related to the Ruby installation path? Please ensure that the Ruby installation path is included in your system's PATH environment variable.

Kind regards,

Unfortunately I had already tried that... Would the Ruby install need to be part of the toolchain/mingw installation?

Hello,

From the error message, it seems that this might be due to a missing Ruby interpreter or CMake not being able to locate Ruby. Try installing Ruby, check this page.

Kind regards,
