vosk-api [WIN] [ERR] Can't install vosk on Nodejs, Windows 11

Is it possible to run this project on a windows machine?

My Node version is 14.19.0 My python version is 3.7.9

Is it possible to run it in windows in a node environment? Can someone guide me on how to do that?

when I npm install I get the following error:

Please click on "Post Edit" and format your code properly

@nshmyrev sorry about that. I've formatted it now.

Dec 16 '22 09:12 affanmehmood

It is some recent bug in ff-napi it seems, it doesn't like spaces in your path

Dec 16 '22 09:12 nshmyrev

As a quick fix you can install node into root folder instead of 'program files'

Dec 16 '22 10:12 nshmyrev

Or you have "Program Files" somewhere in environment variable that affects node

I'm getting the same error after installing node inside the root

I'm having the same issue, the problem is also ffi-napi. Trying to run a program that works on Mac on a Windows machine. Has anyone solved this?
