Dear,

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

Moreover, the path of West file is after running the command
"pip3 show -f west"
is
home/rizwan/.local/python 3.6/packages

Is this correct? The lack of / before "home" and the space between "python" and "3.6" makes me suspect this was retyped by hand instead of copy/pasted. Please copy/paste whenever possible; it avoids typos.

If it is correct, please make sure this directory is on your PATH and try again as suggested.

Again, it is better if you copy paste the actual commands you typed and their output. Please do not try to summarize the results or refer to online documents. It leaves me guessing about what is actually happening on your computer instead of showing me directly.

Thanks,
Marti



Subsequently, i have installed all the stuff related to Zephyr including Cmake and Zephyr sdk in a path

/home/rizwan/zaphyr

Kindly advise.

Rizwan

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

If you ran "pip3 install --user west" and west cannot be run afterwards, it sounds like the directory that the west binary was installed into is not on your $PATH. Older versions of Ubuntu sometimes have this issue; I forget which ones.

Usually this directory is ~/.local/bin. Please ensure this directory is on your PATH environment variable and try again.

If that doesn't work, you can confirm where west was installed by running "pip3 show -f west"; check both the Location: value and the [...]/bin/west relative path in the Files: list that follows.

Hi,

Happy to try to help, but could you please provide details? The below email is a bit vague: "commands given on the website cannot recognize the West file" doesn't provide much context on what went wrong.

- what is your host operating system?
- what commands did you type?
- what was the output?
- what output did you expect?

Feel free to just copy and paste rather than taking screenshots of the terminal window.

Thanks,
Marti
