Failed to execute command pip3 install -r nrf\scripts\requirements.txt

[ChandraSR K]

I am trying to setup development environment by following below steps.

The nRF Connect SDK Zephyr repository contains a list of required Python modules. Install these modules by entering the following command:

cd <sourcecode_root>\ncs
pip3 install -r zephyr\scripts\requirements.txt
pip3 install -r nrf\scripts\requirements.txt
pip3 install -r bootloader\mcuboot\scripts\requirements.txt

but i got errors as while executing below command. but could succeed in 1st and 2 nd commands ( Zephyr, bootloader)

pip3 install -r nrf\scripts\requirements.txt

finally I could resolve this by upgrading setuptools, using below command.

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools

I would recommend you to use the Toolchain Manager. Then you can install NCS by simply pressing a button, and you don't need to install the tools manually.

Hi

I followed instructions given by using Toolchain Manager. it installs only tool chain. but didnot install choco, python,west,

Sources for SDK, RTOS, gnuarmemb.

Hence I installed manually.

I am using Windows 7 host and can you help exactly which button shall trigger automatic installation of below:

1. choco, python,west,
2. Sources for SDK, RTOS, gnuarmemb.
3. ncs

Thanks

You don't need to install anything if you open a project through the Toolchain Manager (TM), all the tools needed to develop a project will get installed automatically. You can build and flash a program onto the chip out-of-the-box with the TM. The links below will explain how to use the TM.

  • This uses NCS v1.2.0 at the moment, but I will update it soon to support NCS v1.3.0

Hi 

Thanks for the quick response.

Tool chain manager fails to install 1.3.

So I could succeed installation of 1.2 using tool chain manager. 

Is there any way I can troubleshoot issues with 1.3 version.

Thanks
