This is still a problem. I formatted and reinstalled (rather downgraded from the crappy Big Sur to Catalina) and installed Nordic SDK, Segger, etc. and I get the same "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'". Launching emStudio from the terminal fetches env/path and everything works. But this should be sorted out in a future version.

Thank you for the details! I'll forward this to the developers.

This is solved by updating to python higher then 3.9. This was suggested by IanAber https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/62769/after-upgrading-from-1-3-0-rc1-to-1-3-0-i-get-the-error-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-yaml/293807#293807 and to do so I had to do 2 things

1. setup python using instructions Python 3 using pyenv

2. launch from commandline <#path to Segger ... .app#>/Contents/macOS/emStudio

Only then I was able to launch a first sample application

conclusion

I think the version of Python installed with TM v0.9.1 is not the correct one. You can see in the logs it picks the wrong one.

    File "/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.4.2/toolchain/Cellar/python@3.8/3.8.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/west/manifest.py", line 252, in from_file

This wrong picking of Python version according to IanAber is due to the the fact that GUI apps do not take the PATH variable set on your system into account.

Hope this helps and looking forward to a more version but also happy I can start connecting things now!

The error happens when the TM is finished successfully. no errors then.

Version TM = 0.9.1

After that I try to follow the getting started steps. I do

1. open Segger Embedded studio

2. File>Open nRF Connect SDK project

3. Select toolchain 1.4.2 or 1.3.2. I tested both but error on 1.3.2 was more scary. O output above is of 1.4.2

4. select folder that is not the folder of the toolchain but where my project will be. That folder is under git (see screenshot)

5. then the output above happens

If on step 4 I select the same folder as the toolchain (just leave the default) then the same thin happens.

Attached some screenshots

Hello!

I'm looking into this case, as well as your other one now. We have seen similar issues on MacOS recently. Does the error you are seeing here originate from the Toolchain Manager(TM)? If so, which version of TM are you using?
