cannot find node_modules/deepspeech/lib/binding/v0.9.3/linux-x64/node-v93/deepspeech.node

I'm having the same issue described here: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech-examples/issues/138

recognize-wav.mjs:

import DeepSpeech from 'deepspeech'

Executing:

node recognize-wav.mjs 
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933
  const err = new Error(message);
              ^

node v16.13.0 which is the current LTS node version: https://nodejs.org/en/

How to make it work?

[dushimsam]

It seems not to be compatible with NodeJs v16 , i downgraded to Node V14 and things worked.

[raphael10-collab]

@dushimsam downgrading node's version shouldn't be the solution.

I had to, rightly, upgrade node's version to v. 16.13. because many of the packages and software I use required to keep up, things are rapidly evolving, and downgrading to two versions before, is nonsense to me

@raphael10-collab Did you find a solution ?

[lissyx]

Use Coqui ?

[phunanon]

@lissyx, this package is for transcribing speech, not generating it...

[Tamer3mansor]

according to node modules last node version supported is Node.js 15.14.0 you can get more info from https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/

But after i decrease node version give me error since there are other package dependance on current node version

[jbflow]

did anyone manage to resolve this?

I am attempting to run on node version 16. Works fine in version 14 but not higher. I understand why it's not working but not how to resolve.

Running Node14 isn't an option as it's for an embedded solution and I have no control over the node version being used.
