Error: spawn EPERM and Error: spawn ENOENT

[aferreira44]

I'm trying to convert a markdown file to pdf with the code below of index.js and I'm getting these errors after run node index.js.

The first error below is on my Windows 10 Host Machine, and the second one is on my Ubuntu Guest VirtualBox VM.

Any idea of how to solve this?

index.js

var markdownpdf = require("markdown-pdf"),
    fs = require("fs")

markdownpdf().from("./README.md").to("./curriculo.pdf", function() {
    console.log("Converted to PDF successfully!")
})

Terminal Output Error - Windows Host VM

I got the same error as with your Ubuntu Guest VM on Arch with nodejs 8.1 and npm 4.6. I used npm install markdown-pdf to install it and node converter.js to run my converter.

converter.js:

var markdownpdf = require("markdown-pdf")

markdownpdf().from("../notes.md").to("out.pdf", function () {
  console.log("Done");
})

Same issue here on MacOS Mojave

internal/streams/legacy.js:57
      throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.
      ^

Error: spawn /Users/doug/OneDrive - Realogy/notes/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom\bin\phantomjs.exe ENOENT

Same code works on Windows. And judging by an attempted spawn of "phantomjs.exe", seems like somehow it's assuming I'm on a windows machine?
