Error: Cannot find module 'reflect-metadata'

[DrowKing]

After following the installation instructions, when I try to run the program I get the following error message

App threw an error during load

I am using Linux Mint 20.3 if that helps

LIterally the same error happened to me on Linux Mint 21.

Whilst the script reported 'Successfully installed Deezer Desktop!', it threw an error before, probably derailing the entire build process:

Just for the record, the script managed to build successfully on Ubuntu 22.04 Just in case it might be relevant. I'm using BTRFS on my Linux Mint 21 installation whilst I was using ext4 on Ubuntu 22.04.

Facing exactly the same problem here on Linux Mint 20.3. Worked without any issues on Ubuntu 20.04 Thanks in advance.
