Hi, I was trying to run the bouncer template with the env variables set in accordance with the instructions.

Upon pnpm start, get the following error

Would it be possible to check what could be the problem?

Thank you.

Hi! I had this same issue and was able to solve this by navigating to:

• bouncer-eliza-agent/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/better-sqlite3

and running a "pnpm install" from there.

The console will then show a warning stating some dependencies are not approved to be built. You need to run "pnpm approve-builds" and allow all dependencies on the list.

Navigate back to your project's root and it should run fine with "pnpm start".
