RE: Trying to install Sniffer based on nRF52840 USB Dongle

Think you very much David

It took time to figure out where the Phyton has been installed, weird thing, but finally found it:

C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts

But the content of this folder only includes 3 files:

pip.exe

pip3.9.exe

pip3.exe

There is no file requirements.txt

Therefore going to this folder in Command prompt and trying to run the required command: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

produces an error message:

"could not open requirements file: [errno 2]: No such file or directory: requirements.txt

It turns that the requirements.txt was in a different location - where there Sniffer software was extracted to. So copied it from there to the phyton/scripts folder and run the pip3 install....command again and it worked!

Continued with Wireshark setup for the Sniffer and now looks like it is installed properly

Appreciate your help, David

Have you installed the required python version, Section 3 of the nRF Sniffer User Guide mentions that python 3.6 or later should be installed.
If you have installed python3, then pip3 will be inside your python3 installation so use the full path to pip3.

For example on my Windows PC, 64 bit running python 3.7

C:\Users\user>c:\python37\Scripts\pip3 --version
pip 19.2.3 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
