Can't get mediasoup demo v3 running on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04: WebSocket connection failed

Hi, I can’t get mediasoup demo v3 running on my laptop that has Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, have all requirements installed (mediasoup :: Installation).
After running server and app, the browser cannot connect to the websocket server and outputs this:

WebSocket connection failed

I’m not sure if this is related to a error I am having in the server terminal.

This is what the terminal running server outputs:

...

And the Google Chrome console:

Obviously mediasoup did not install/compile. Please look for the very same error (ENOENT) in this forum.
