When i do npm install node-mumble-audio it fails, because it would like to download

https://s3.amazonaws.com/evolve-bin/node-mumble-audio/node-mumble-audio-0.2.5-linux-x64-release.tgz

Please, please help me :fearful: Thanks in advance.

There are builds for mac and windows but the linux build never quite got there.

You can actually get it to work locally by cloning this project and then linking it. Something like:

$ git clone git@github.com:evolvelabs/node-mumble-audio.git
$ cd node-mumble-audio 
$ npm link
$ cd ../myapp
$ npm link node-mumble-audio

Then it will just build it locally rather than trying to get it out of s3. There are a bunch of dependencies which may also be missing linux binaries, you'll have to link them all and build them all locally.

But this project isn't really maintained anymore so you may even be better off trying your own solution and just use this as a reference. This did work once upon a time!

One trick if you go down this path is to make sure you run this in a different process than your main app. I was using it in electron and it was too much for a single process to handle, running in a child process worked great though.
