Just because mjpeg-consumer is installed globally doesn't make it available to other node projects. You need to add your global node_modules folder to your NODE_PATH env var.

Didn't worked.

[jlipps]

what happens if you run node and then in the interpreter, run require('mjpeg-consumer')?

[NirBY]

I have got:

w-cr8:~ cellactqa$ node
const mc = require('mjpeg-consumer');
undefined

[imurchie]

The command appium-doctor is running is

npm ls -g -j -l mjpeg-consumer

What is the output of that? Perhaps there is something odd going on in the parsing...

[imurchie]

It looks like mjpeg-consumer is installed into your Appium installation?

If this is the case, this is not something that appium-doctor will pick up, because it's not the way that it ought to be installed (in this case, every update of Appium would require an update of mjpeg-consumer, which does not make a lot of sense).
