Be sure to install all the required things before doing npm install:

[sandypp77]

Yep, i’ve already done that, but still it shows error
Node → v16.18.0
GNU Make → 3.81
python → 3.10.2

i already append the directory of make’s folder to path. But still it shows same errors

[zaidiqbal]

Kindly show the versions of all these from terminal to make sure, like node -v, make -v etc. Make sure to restart the terminal after you have added something to PATH.

[zaidiqbal]

Make sure to install PIP for python as well.

[sandypp77]

yeah, i always restart the terminal after added new directory to path

[sandypp77]

For the record, i’ve done all of these steps
1.install Node, Python, and PIP
2.install GNU make from MinGW (using link provided in [mediasoup :: Installation])
3.add C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin to path
4.i’ve tried use vcvars64.bat from VS2019 or VS2022 to run npm install

[sandypp77]

Oh, btw. which ‘make’ should i install ? Is it from MSYS or MinGW ?

[zaidiqbal]

From MSYS, looks all good to me. Which version of mediasoup you are installing? Can you try it with windows terminal application? Also remove node_modules and try again.

[sandypp77]

version 3 but i dont know the specific version of it (e.g : 3…) i just use ```
npm install mediasoup@3

okay, let me try it first

[sandypp77]

Here if i run it on powershell

CMD

CMD + VCVARS64.BAT

[zaidiqbal]

I see it now please do install these as well from under MSYS using MinGW manager:

First try with these:
msys-base
msys-bash
msys-core
msys-coreutils
msys-diffutils

And if shown some error then try installing these as well:
msys-dos2unix
msys-file
msys-findutils
msys-gawk
msys-grep
msys-gzip
msys-libint
msys-libiconv
msys-tar
msys-xz
msys-texinfo

But first confirm me whether you have pwd.exe inside MinGW/msys/1.0/bin?

[sandypp77]

i dont have it in my MinGW/msys/1.0/bin. Do i need to download it from the internet ?

[zaidiqbal]

Ok, no install it the same way you installed msys-make from MinGW application here:

[sandypp77]

Ok.

[sandypp77]

i’ve tried your suggestions .

First try with these:
msys-base
msys-bash
msys-core
msys-coreutils
msys-diffutils

It still shows errors but the errors is different

[zaidiqbal]

Looks like we are making progress. This time it is saying about not finding PIP. Can you try this command in terminal ‘python3 -m pip’?

[sandypp77]

Well, after i try commnad ‘python3 -m pip’ in terminal. it shows exaxtly as in here [ mediasoup :: Installation]

[zaidiqbal]

Ok and what does ‘python3’ outputs? If it shows error then you need to add python3 to environment variable with python3 installation path.
