west tool could not be found

olav — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 13:51:51 GMT

I am trying MCUXpresso for VS Code for the first time.

- I have installed the MCUXpresso Extension
- I have run the MCUXpresso Installer and install all software kits

When I try to Import a remote Repository (MCUXpresso SDK) I get the error message "west tool could not be found.

I have restarted VS Code, and even the PC.

I am using Windows 10

Any ideas?

Can you check if west is installed at all (using the 'where' command on Windows):

I have the following:

C:\Users\erich>where west
C:\Users\erich\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\west.exe
C:\Users\erich\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\west.exe

You might give the following instructions a try:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/west/install.html

I hope this helps,

Erich

Thanks Erich

Both Python and West was installed, but the path to the installation was not set. After fixing this, west was found and the SDK was downloaded.
