pnpm start Issue - "Error: Could not locate the bindings file."

[suryanshkushwaha]

After bumping the discord client to 0.1.9 as suggested in:
Issue - #132
PR - #128

I get some could not bind Sqlite error which I am unsure of. Any help appreciated!

@suryanshkushwaha use node version 22.12.0

Same problem. version 22.12.0 does not fix it

The below will work, something appears to be wrong with the better-sqlite3 package. Manually installing it worked for me.

cd eliza-starter/node_modules/better-sqlite3
pnpm install

Running your normal start script should then work, make sure you specify the character model you are using as per below.
pnpm start --character="characters/deep-thought.character.json"

I am using the below versions
node = v22.12.0
python = 3.10.12
pnpm = 9.7.0
