/usr/bin/env: ‘node -r esm’: No such file or directory

[lomeiyemei]

After bin/server --port 1234, have the following error

/usr/bin/env: ‘node -r esm’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines

I have google and no relevant information to correct it. What is the issue here and how to fix it?

[n-for-all]

edit bin/server and add -S before node -r esm
so the line becomes:

#!/usr/bin/env -S node -r esm

Thanks for answer. Will try it out

[lomeiyemei]

I have add -S as instructed

However I got follow error

This is a permissions or incompatibility error, reinstall esm but as global with root permission and see if that resolves the issue (don't forget to remove the local esm) `npm uninstall esm` `npm i esm -g`

still error

@lomeiyemei and @joesandiroz2 try that, it will help you to deal with differences between node versions.

Fix esm modules

https://github.com/tiagopazhs/localtunnelServer-raise/commit/425c9733393a13dedd32a363c325a076d4006cbf

Maybe it will be necessary to use node 18.

I got the same issue as @lomeiyemei , but after I add -S to bin/server, I caught different errors with @lomeiyemei , as follow:

"/bin/server: 1 TypeError: Function.prototype.apply was called on undefined, which is a undefined and not a function."

It looks like something wrong in the project, but I have no idea what it is. Does anyone have some ideas or had the same issue with me? I'm looking forward to your help. Thank you!

Related to #90

Same here, on Debian 13.

Followed https://github.com/localtunnel/server?tab=readme-ov-file#overview

root@debian13-test:~/server# bin/server --port 1234
env: ‘node -r esm’: No such file or directory
env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines

No change with npm install esm
