NRF 5340 Audio DK - Demo - FATAL ERROR: CMake is not installed or cannot be found; cannot build.

[armstrk1]

Hi, 

I am having trouble getting the build to complete for the Audio DK demo (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/applications/nrf5340_audio/README.html#nrf53-audio-app-configuration-select-bis). I have the "FATAL ERROR: CMake is not installed or cannot be found; cannot build"

I have the cmake extension installed, I am opening VS code from the toolchain manager. I checked in the nrf connect: generate support information and it looks like CMake has a path to tools. I noticed there isn't one to nrfutil. I'm not sure if this could cause the issue or how to fix it.

Alright, after some help, the solution I went with was to uninstall python 3.11 and install 3.9. the conflict was then resolved after reinstalling all the required packages.

Happy to hear that you were able to find the solution!
