I've tried my best to install robotjs, but it doesn't work. I am so confused. Then I use nutjs, it do not have any install question.

maybe robotjs can provider package like nutjs? And anyone else will have no install questions.

RobotJS is not working. It definitely needs to be reworked. It's most likely due to compatibility issues. The authorities should update the robotJS package.

Well, it’s been a while since I opened https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs/pull/622, and there hasn’t been any progress since.

Installing robotjs on recent node versions boils down to manually setting up the required build tools to compile it on install. Distribution of packages using it is a different topic that also requires work.
