Having trouble importing neuroexplorer spikes file using spikeinterface extractor

Hello,
I am having difficulty importing my NeuroExplorer file using the SpikeInterface extractor module.
Below is a screenshot of the steps that I took and error message I receive when I try to use the read_neuroexplorer function:

Hi @kthuang20

The neuroexplorer reader was recently added (#1965) and so it's available only if you install from source (not from pip).

You can check this installation instructions: https://spikeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#from-source

@kthuang20 were you able to load your neuroexplorer data?

[kthuang20]

Thank you, it is now able to recognize the read_neuroexplorer function. However, when I try to load the file, I am getting another error

Can you share the file with us?

The file can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WuUNCWhDoKRwPrI7UEMs4hd8zYfMlJBj/view?usp=sharing

Thanks @kthuang20

I think that the problem is that you don't have the raw data. The read_neuroexplorer reads the raw traces, but your file only contains spikes (which we don't have a reader for).

I guess this the spike extractor is not available on neo here?
