You either need to cd to the directory where the requirements.txt file is located or provide its full path when calling 'install -r requirements.txt'

The latest version of the nRF sniffer seems to have botched one crucial step:

"nRF Sniffer software v2.x or later available on the Sniffer product page under the downloads tab. This also includes the SEGGER J-Link software that is compatible."

It does not include the jlink driver...

I need to talk to my people.

I've attached J-Link V6.34b, the version that comes with the sniffer v2.0.0-3 beta:

I'm using JLink V616c. There are a few steps that are inconsistent between the different user guides. Version 2.1 says to install pyserial while user guide v2.2 has the added instruction to run "...install -r requirements.txt" however I get an error stating the requirements.txt file does not exist. I have verified that pyserial 3.4 is installed.

I skimmed through the python sniffer scripts and they seem to handle both win64 and win32.

Most likely you're not using the J-link driver provided in the sniffer package, any other version will not work with the sniffer.

I suggest you look through your Windows Registry to see what versions of J-link is installed and which one is currently used by the machine.
