Error: Cannot find module '@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs-linux-x64-gnu'

[aman207]

Hello, I'm trying to run hookshot locally on Rockylinux 9 but I'm running into this error when trying to start it. The build completes successfully. I'm wondering if I'm just missing a dependency? Not sure where to start since the build output really doesn't give me much info. Any information to get me started with troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Looks like the binary matrix-sdk-crypto.linux-x64-gnu.node was missing from ./node_modules/matrix-appservice-bridge/node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs and ./node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs. Manually running npm install under these directories downloads the binary and resolves the runtime error. I don't understand why that isn't being done as part of the build process however?

This is just an issue on my end. After removing the node_modules directory and rerunning yarn, it runs perfectly fine

Hope this'll at least help someone in the future!

Very strange. I wonder if this was a transient issue with building the native library and it didn't fail the whole process like it should. Anyway, glad it's resolved and thank you for documenting.
