There are also different versions of the running environment, and the results are all the same. I don’t know which link went wrong.

Python exceptions are being thrown, make sure it’s installed properly and then delete any left over mediasoup modules and re-install.

For uBuntu; this is what I run prerequisites

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt upgrade -y

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt install nodejs -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
sudo apt update -y
sudo npm install pm2@latest -g
sudo npm install -g npm@latest

Doesn’t anyone read the logs? “Remote end closed connection without response”. This means that the builder sent a request for a file containing some required dependency sources (namely, https://wrapdb.mesonbuild.com/v2/libuv_1.44.2-1/get_patch in this case), and didn’t receive any response from the server. Maybe that server was overloaded or down at the moment and could not handle the request, maybe a giant squid pulled the trans-ocean cable. Who knows.

echo “Installation failed, likely because PIP is unavailable, if you are on Debian/Ubuntu or derivative please install the python3-pip package”

or

npm ERR! meson.build:177:0: ERROR: Unhandled python exception

Not what the error is saying at all, do read it again. The above steps should solve the problem most linux distributions run into (steps may differ).

shy · March 29, 2023, 11:58am

Yes, I saw it, but I can download it normally by opening this address in my browser

snnz · March 29, 2023, 12:16pm

echo "..." is a shell command, not a logged error message.

snnz · March 29, 2023, 12:18pm

Well, maybe meson will be able to download it too next time.

BronzedBroth · March 29, 2023, 11:06pm

I won’t argue, the issue deals with fresh install of Linux distributions that don’t have out-of-box support for MediaSoup anymore as soup has been updated and requirements change.

Make sure the network firewall ingress/egress is not blocking requests for sake of install but be sure you have updated/installed what’s required. Post is above.

That’s understood.

A follow up be nice, by OP. As many run into this issue and it either is Python out of date, build essentials or node version. My setups has never failed people currently and will update as it changes for the distros…

If I’m wrong in this case, this still may help other cases
