Install manually, please. Clone the mediasoup repo, enter it, run `npm install`. Then enter `worker/` and run `make`, and paste the output error. ---

So there is no issue in mediasoup but in any other dependency you have in your project. Sorry. Goto to any other folder (out of your project) and run `npm install mediasoup@3`. If it works, there is no issue related to mediasoup. ---

That does make any sense. If you run `npm install mediasoup@3` in an empty folder, it must succeed (so you must see `node_modules/` after installation completes) or it may fail (so you’ll see an error). I’m afraid I cannot help much more. ---

You don’t have any issue installing mediasoup. The problem is elsewhere in your other deps . I cannot help in that. ---
