I have an issue starting a worker with my new project: [GitHub - Collaborative-IoT/Lancelot: Voice server for Collaborative-IoT audio chat.](https://github.com/Collaborative-IoT/Lancelot) The issue occurs:[Lancelot/src/utils/startMediasoup.ts at master · Collaborative-IoT/Lancelot · GitHub](https://github.com/Collaborative-IoT/Lancelot/blob/master/src/utils/startMediasoup.ts) Here is the issue output: ` Error: spawn C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker ENOENT at Process.ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (node:internal/child\_process:282:19) at onErrorNT (node:internal/child\_process:477:16) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task\_queues:83:21) { errno: -4058, code: ‘ENOENT’, syscall: ‘spawn C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker’, path: ‘C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker’, spawnargs: [ ‘–logLevel=debug’, ‘–logTag=info’, ‘–logTag=ice’, ‘–logTag=dtls’, ‘–logTag=rtp’, ‘–logTag=srtp’, ‘–logTag=rtcp’, ‘–rtcMinPort=40000’, ‘–rtcMaxPort=49999’ ] } node:internal/process/promises:246 triggerUncaughtException(err, true /\* fromPromise \*/); ^ Error: spawn C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker ENOENT at Process.ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (node:internal/child\_process:282:19) at onErrorNT (node:internal/child\_process:477:16) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task\_queues:83:21) { errno: -4058, code: ‘ENOENT’, syscall: ‘spawn C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker’, path: ‘C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\worker\out\Release\mediasoup-worker’, spawnargs: [ ‘–logLevel=debug’, ‘–logTag=info’, ‘–logTag=ice’, ‘–logTag=dtls’, ‘–logTag=rtp’, ‘–logTag=srtp’, ‘–logTag=rtcp’, ‘–rtcMinPort=40000’, ‘–rtcMaxPort=49999’ ] ` # Things tried? 1.I made sure I have the requirements listed in the documentation 2.Deleted/Undeleted the node\_modules folder of my project to reinstall the lib. 3.Navigated to C:\Users\imkxr\Repos\Collaborative\Lancelot\node\_modules\mediasoup\node\_modules and ran `npm install`.

It seems you have the global Node.js `make` package installed, which collides with MinGW/GNU `make`. Try `npm uninstall -g make` ---

Thanks for the insight, after removing the node.js make globally I have gotten the following from repeating step 3 of the section “things tried”. npm-scripts.js [INFO] running task “postinstall” npm-scripts.js [INFO] executing command: node npm-scripts.js worker:build npm-scripts.js [INFO] running task “worker:build” npm-scripts.js [INFO] executing command: make -C worker make: Entering directory ‘C:/Users/imkxr/Repos/Collaborative/Lancelot/node\_modules/mediasoup/worker’ process\_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, dirname C:/Users/imkxr/Repos/Collaborative/Lancelot/node\_modules/mediasoup/worker/Makefile, …) failed.

Did you read and follow all instructions here top to bottom?: [mediasoup :: Installation](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/installation/) It seems that you don’t have correct Make version installed. ---

Thanks for your help! Instead of running it locally on my windows machine I just placed it in a docker container with alpine which has build essentials. ---

If someone wants run locally, without docker, following @nazar-pc suggest, run: npm uninstall -g make, remove node\_modules and run again installation
