Windows 11: Command Failed with exit Code 7:

[notOccupanther]

During pnpm i section of the install I received the following error " ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 7."

I managed to fix it, by manually downlaoding the Discord Opus piece that it failed on, but for some reason, it is not downloading via the script.

I tried downloading to the actual directory via a browser and it failed - windows reported the download reported an error,. So I downloaded it into the 'downloads' folder under my profile and manually copied the file in. I then extracted the files and re-ran

pnpm i

It seems to have worked. So this is an FYI really.

Thanks

please try the following: main branch, node v23.1.0, bash pnpm clean pnpm install pnpm build pnpm start --character=(file)

[lakshya404stc]

this might solve the issue npm install -g node-pre-gyp pnpm i

edit ** I found a better solution

linux before running "pnpm i" sudo apt update && sudo apt install build-essentials && python3

windows before running "pnpm i" npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
