I've read the other issues and I see that reinstalling Node.js is the solution for this. Do I need Node.js to use this library? Because I just know Python lol.

Hi! Yeah, you'll need a Javascript runtime installed. The Python library is just a wrapper around the underlying JS which does most of the heavy lifting.

Try installing NodeJS if you don't already have it installed. If you do, try reinstalling, that's helped others in the past.

Let me know if that helps!

Alright, so I gotta install Javascript and Node.js, also I'm planning to export my code as a .exe file. Will there be any problems with the library once its exported?

[euphwes]

Honestly I've never used a packaging tool that packs Python scripts into executables. I doubt it will package the Javascript runtime with it though. You'll probably need to make sure wherever you're running your script/program has Node.js installed. If you distributing this with an installer, maybe your installer can you also check for and install Node.js?

Alright, I'm going to google how to install Node.js and then try exporting it as a .exe to see if it works. Thanks!

I'm closing the issue now.
