I am a student who knew when learning webrtc that it was necessary to build a media server to facilitate multi person video calls. However, I encountered many problems when deploying and building mediasoup.The current progress is only achieved for creating a new folder. I wonder if there is any senior who can provide guidance ---

Kindly share the full logs, this is just the last part of it, doesn’t show much. Make sure you have installed the prerequisites for mediasoup: > **[mediasoup :: Installation](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/installation/)** > > Cutting Edge WebRTC Video Conferencing ---

I’m sorry for replying so late. Yesterday, I watched some videos learning the entire process of mediasoup. After seeing your reply this morning, I reconfigured my virtual machine according to the Installation, hoping for good news ---

Delete the mediasoup folder in modules if it exists and try installation again after installing build-essential and python3-pip. Google how to install those for your distribution. Assuming Node.JS and NPM is up to date and system is up to date; there should only be those two requirements missing for most Linux distributions. The link shared about on installation details this in the notes. ---
