I have the same problem.

Same issue. Reinstalling opencv manually doesn't do anything.

Oddly enough, const cv = require("./node_modules/opencv4nodejs/lib/opencv4nodejs.js") gives the same exact error message

[martensievers]

Same issue here, has anyone found a fix for this error?

Has anyone found a fix for this error?

[johanneskvamme]

We encountered this error, which seemed to originate from a faulty build of opencv4nodejs, which passed with warnings, but didn't actually build the necessary files. Reinstalling xcode-select (command-line developer tools) and re-running the installation process solved this for us.

Workaround - Add this script to your npm scripts:

"postinstall": "if [ ! -f node_modules/opencv4nodejs/build/Release/opencv4nodejs.node ]; then cd node_modules/opencv4nodejs/build; make; fi"
