PC BLE Driver JS Installation

sakib

Hello, 

Our aim is to install "pc-ble-driver-js" and use the connectivity board for the serialization process.


We are following this link to get this working https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver-js


The node version is v16.14.2
The npm version is 8.5.0
After executing the first step( i.e command "npm install pc-ble-driver-js") we are facing the following errors and warning

C:\Users\info>npm install pc-ble-driver-js
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: this library is no longer supported

    Hi,

    Looks like GitHub removed support for git:// links. Can you try the following command?

    npm install github:NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver-js#release/v2.8

    We need to do a new release to fix the issue for the normal "npm install pc-ble-driver-js" command.

    Best regards,
    Jørgen
