Unable to create a Worker

mediasoup libraries

Getting an error when creating a worker.
I turned on mediasoup errors as well to further debug, but I am completely lost.
I set the createWorker parameters to all the defaults as well and that did nothing.

ENOENTis a well known error meaning that the binary is not found, so somehow mediasoup build process failed when you did npm install. No idea why but that’s the problem. You may miss some requirements (see the “Installation” documentation in the website).

You can also enter the /home/justin/Documents/Programming/mediasoup-sample-app/node_modules/mediasoup/worker/ folder and run make and see what happens.
