All the commands of example.js are running ok.

You haven't required MessageMedia!!!!!! 

const {Client, **MessageMedia**} = require("./index.js");

add that bit to the code, you will find 

const {Client} = require("./index.js");

something like this on the top of your code, add the comma and MessageMedia.

The MEssagemedia not defined problem is solved, but i have "ReferenceError: chat is not defined" when i use !sendpic , should I add Chat to the line? I have added Chat to the const line but it is not working. By the way, thanks for answer my noob questions.

const { Client, Location, MessageMedia, Chat} = require('./index');

Diego-Schmidt commented 3 years ago

Solved, changed the code chat.sendMessage(media); To client.sendMessage(msg.from, media); and then it worked.
