Can not make ncsdk in api-only mode in pi(3b+).

[idata]

Tutorial following:https://movidius.github.io/blog/ncs-apps-on-rpi/

At the compilation step, when running make from ncsdk/api/src, this message was shown(It was the only message):

NCSDK FW successfully installed

But in the next step,when trying to install using make install, this error was thrown:

Makefile:44: recipe for target 'get_mvcmd' failed

make: *** [get_mvcmd] Interrupt

So I tried compiling it many times, each time resulting in this error:

Error downloading . Will try to restore existing firmware

Error restoring old firmware - directory ./mvnc.old doesn't exist. Will exitMakefile:44: recipe for target 'get_mvcmd' failedmake: *** [get_mvcmd] Error 1

Tried uninstalling using make uninstall( though not mentioned in the tutorial ). But the same error as above was the result.

Does anyone has an idea about where I have gone wrong?

Hi @sreerag_ibtl

A couple questions for you:

1. Did you make sure to install all Debian and Python dependencies from Step 2 of the installation guide?
2. Are you in the correct directory when installing?
3. Did you use the command sudo make install?

Thanks @Sahira_at_Intel for your reply. I tried it again and the installation was successful this time. Don't know why it failed the first time, though all the instructions were followed correctly. ( This is the second time this magic is happening to me. Other one was when installing OpenCV.) :smile:
