Hi,

mbed command line used to work well but my mbed does not work any more. I tried reinstalling the setup installer https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli-windows-installer/releases/tag/v0.4.10 but it still does not work.

c:\mbed-cli\mbed-cli\mbed-cli-1.8.3>mbed
'mbed' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Hi,
I was able to reproduce this problem from the new machine as well.
If I install the Mbed-CLI package and then upgrade to Python3, I get this failure.
So it seems I need to run this in Python 3 environment.

pip install mbed-cli

And then, I got this failure.

Any chance we have Mbed CLI installer with Python 3 inside?

OK. I found how I can resolve this.
This problem seems to be only existing in Windows only.

  • I downloaded Visual Studio Professional evaluation version since my company is non-community.
  • https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ko/downloads/
  • Install Visual C++ component for now.
  • Then after Visual Studio installation, I ran pip install mbed-cli again and it installed well.
C:\Users\andcho01>mbed --version
1.10.2

Maybe, I can later uninstall Visual Studio after this installation.
