I can't install the tool chain. The thing is telling me to install some thing called chocolatey. I can't install this

I can't install the tool chain.

Looks like I have to install something called chocolatey?

I can't install chocolatey. I tried the chocolatey website for help and was baffelled by the complexity and install options for this.

Please send me the toolchain as a file that I can install without the chocolatey thing.

I have the nRF52840dk to evaluate your bluetooth devices, but can't even get past this stage:

If I can't install the toolchain then the kit is useless and will go in the bin.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your help. 

I do get "Restrictred" message,

Please help, regards mike

Try running one of these commands before running Get-ExecutionPolicy:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

Then continue with all the steps shown below.

If that doesn't solve your problems, please tell me.

I am sorry for the struggles, but I will help you getting this to work and will not give up until you've made it.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon, thanks for your help.

Still unable to get past the cholacaty stage?

[Simon]

Try this:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Instead of:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Notice the difference, you didn't include the "https://"

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

I managed to get the chololaty installed and working...

wooppee...

Now I go throught the steps to install the tool chain but I now get stuck on the python stage, it says this:

Any ideas?

regards

Mike.

Try running this instead:

choco install python --version 3.8.0

It seems like there are some problems with installing python 3.8.2 with choco at the moment: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey.org/issues/765#issuecomment-591299159
