i also faced the same issue on a Windows machine. I figured out that installing the Firebase CLI using the binary file didn't work for me (even after @ventosus's answer), so here is my solution:

        I had to install the Firebase CLI using the npm command (Node.js is required to use this command):

        npm install -g firebase-tools

        Then, I was able to run the command:

        flutterfire configure
    

Solution for FirebaseCommandException

The error message "FirebaseCommandException: An error occurred on the Firebase CLI when attempting to run a command" typically indicates an issue with executing a command using the Firebase Command Line Interface (CLI). This could be due to various reasons such as authentication issues, network problems, or misconfiguration.

Possible Causes:

  • Incorrect Firebase CLI configuration or version mismatch.
  • Authentication failure or insufficient permissions to perform the operation.
  • Network connectivity issues preventing communication with the Firebase servers.
  • Bugs or issues in the Firebase CLI itself.

Solution:

  1. Verify Firebase CLI Installation: Ensure that you have installed the Firebase CLI correctly on your system. You can install it using npm (Node.js Package Manager) by running the command npm install -g firebase-tools.
  2. Check Firebase Authentication: Make sure you are logged in to Firebase CLI using the correct account credentials. You can log in by running the command firebase login and following the authentication prompts.
  3. Review Firebase Configuration: Double-check your Firebase project configuration and ensure that it is correctly set up. Verify project settings, API keys, and other configuration options in the Firebase console.
  4. Update Firebase CLI: If you are using an outdated version of the Firebase CLI, consider updating it to the latest version. You can update the Firebase CLI using npm by running the command npm install -g firebase-tools.
  5. Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and not blocking access to Firebase services. Try running other commands or accessing Firebase resources to verify connectivity.
  6. Review Command Syntax: Check the syntax of the command you are trying to run with the Firebase CLI. Ensure that you are using the correct command format and options.
  7. Search for Known Issues: Look for any reported issues or troubleshooting guides related to the specific Firebase command you are trying to run. The Firebase community forums or GitHub repository may contain useful information.

After applying the above steps and resolving any issues with Firebase CLI configuration, retry the command to see if the error persists.


        I encountered the same problem. I downloaded the CLI binary and set an alias:

        alias firebase=$HOME/devel/toolkits/firebase/firebase-tools-linux

        proj$ firebase --version
        11.15.0

        proj$ flutterfire configure
        I Found 0 Firebase projects.
        FirebaseCommandException: An error occurred with the Firebase CLI when attempting to run a command.
        COMMAND: firebase --version
        ERROR: The FlutterFire CLI currently requires the official Firebase CLI to also be installed. See https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#install_the_firebase_cli for instructions on how to install it.

        My temporary solution: (creating a symlink in the PATH)

        proj$ ln -s $HOME/devel/toolkits/firebase/firebase-tools-linux $HOME/bin/firebase
    

        What worked for me was to enable scripts to run by setting the PowerShell execution policy, as this was preventing me from running scripts.

        Open PowerShell as an administrator.
        Run the command:
        Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
    

        It works only in the Command Prompt (not PowerShell or the Node.js runtime): Microsoft Windows
    

        Run:

        firebase logout 

        Then:

        firebase login
