Invalid toolchain installation nrfprog path issue

[billywalton]

Hi,

Fresh ubuntu install of 20.04

Followed the tutorial but still get the following error:

Is there a separate path setting inside visual code?

[billywalton]

I had to comment out the following lines of the .postinst file to get the nrf tools properly installed and visible

Hello,

This looks correct to me - apart from the error message - what happens when you attempt to flash an application through the VSC GUI? Are you able to perform commands such as nrfjprog --version in your terminal?

Best regards,
Karl

Oh, I did not see your comment until now.
Strange that you have to comment out this - could you still show me the output of the two things I mentioned in my other comment, with these lines of code still in place?
With these outputs I can mark this for internal review by our nRF Connect SDK command line tool developers.

Best regards,
Karl

Hi,

The nrfjprog worked fine from the command line, But everything in VCS said i had not installed it, I am afraid I did not try the VCS terminal part at this stage.

But when investigating, the .deb package gave me this error

billy@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./nrf-command-line-tools_10.17.0_amd64.deb 
Reading package lists... Done

Note, selecting 'nrf-command-line-tools' instead of './nrf-command-line-tools_10.17.0_amd64.deb'

This is what I fixed by commenting the lines previously mentioned.  I am in a VMWare VM, after the fix, everything installed without error and VCS works now
