Cannot find module './build/Release/re2.node' about email-forward-parser

[BuslovSirin]

After trial and errors, much searching on the Internet there's a solution: use Node version > 16
On Windows I've got 14? on Ubuntu 12. None of these worked. After installing Node 16 it finally worked.
Thanks for your efforts to help!

Glad you found the issue! I'll enforce the minimum required Node version via the package.json

Hey!

The line require("./email-forward-parser"); makes me think that you didn't install the library via npm.
This means that the required dependencies (re2) were not installed, hence the error.

So in that case, you need to manually install the required dependencies:

cd ./email-forward-parser
npm i

Thank you for a quick answer. Unfortunately, after installation of these commands i still bump into the error below

C:\Users\dmitry\Desktop\email-forward-parser\node_modules\re2>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )  else (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )

I dived into the problem, and due to this problem node-gyp installation problem, it's hard to install node-gyp on Windows.
So I'll try to do it in Docker container

Good Github repo to create simple API in Docker and start fast

Unfortunately, still can't install this library. I downloaded VM Ubuntu. When install re2 manually, it writes:

dmitry@dmitry:~/Desktop/email-fwd/node_modules/re2$ npm run install
