You don’t need to install their CLI anymore. Our IDE integrates the necessary features.

If you are still installing their CLI then please ask them for help support about it.

@kwagyeman ,

I am having significant issues installing the edge impulse CLI tools. I understand this is their issue, and I have asked them for help but, suffice it to say, the edge impulse CLI install experience leaves a lot to be desired.

> First, I want to assure you that I have searched the forum and read the many posts with this or similar titles. I have been able to work through a number of issues with Node and npm but I am not yet at the finish line - I need some help. I have...

But, I am following your “smile” tutorial here:

Is there an updated version that does not use the Edge Impulse CLI, could you please point me to it? I am very interested in reproducing your “smile” example.

Thank you,

Chip

We don’t really use the CLI tools. You don’t need them

@kwagyeman ,

That is great to hear. In your video, you used them to upload the training sets:

```auto
edge-impulse-uploader --format-openmv smiles

```

What is the equivalent way to do this without the CLI dependency? Do I upload using edge impulse or is it integrated with the OpenMV IDE?

Sorry for the noob question.

@kwagyeman,

Figured it out and THANK YOU for implementing this integration.

On with the Smile demo and, again, I am very impressed with what you have built here.

@kwagyeman ,

Yes, and I was almost able to complete the smile example - turns out my H7 does not have enough space to run the model from edge impulse. Oh well.

I have pre-ordered the H7 Plus and , as I also make hardware based IOT devices, I can appreciate how hard it is to make hardware now. Good luck and I look forward to getting the hardware - someday.

Thanks again for your help and good luck with this amazing product.

Chip
