Hi, I can’t get mediasoup demo v3 running on my laptop that has Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, have all requirements installed ([mediasoup :: Installation](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/installation/#requirements)).  
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:

```auto

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