nRF Connect Getting Started Assistant installation problem with West

[Matthew]

I'm trying to set up the development environment on Ubuntu 18.04. I got through Step 1. At the beginning of Step 2, I am trying to install West.

pip3 install --user west

The command appears to work, but when I verify it says:

/bin/sh: 1: west: not found

17:31:31.812

nrf_connect_sdk-0.1.4-0 verification failed

And in the terminal when I run any West command, I get:

matt@matt-desktop:~$ west --help

Command 'west' not found, did you mean:

command 'test' from deb coreutils

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

Any advice?

I was unable to resolve the check but I was able to get West to work by adding /.local/bin to my $PATH variable with:

   $ export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

The check is not that important. The most important thing is that you have added west to the path & that you are able to use west to update NCS.
