I mean here’s the thing, i’ve tried the rebuild command, i’ve tried enabling npm, it just won’t work and I don’t wanna spam by bumping threads.

Oh, it’s running node v16.6.1, npm 7.20.3 so it works with the latest d.js version

Hello,

I’ve found a possible work-around that was found by a previous Glitch user on a github issue concerning thee same problem you are having. You can find the comment with the workaround here.

Here the extract from the comment, I would advise you the read the other comments of the conversation I’ve linked in order to get a sense of what is happening if this workaround does not work.

i added

  "engines": {
    "node": "15.x",
    "python": "2.7",
    "node-gyp": "6.x"
  },

to my package.json file

like so

It looks like from the screenshot that this makes it use Node 10 instead of Node 16? Is that how this fixes it?
