Node module version 127 vs 131 sqlite issue

[markjkaem]

Issue Summary

I am encountering an error when trying to run the project after installing dependencies. The error seems related to the better-sqlite3 module not being compatible with my version of Node.js. The error message suggests a mismatch between the Node.js version and the compiled module version.

Steps to Reproduce
Clone the repository:
git clone <repo-url>

Install dependencies:
pnpm install

Run the project:
pnpm start or node <entry-file>

Observe the error in the terminal.

System Information
Node.js version: v18.17.1 (example; replace with your actual version)
Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04 (example; replace with your actual distribution)
Kernel version: 5.4.0-80-generic (example; replace with your actual kernel version)
pnpm version: 9.6.1 (example; replace with your actual pnpm version)
Possible Causes & Solution Suggestions
I suspect that there is a mismatch between the version of Node.js and the better-sqlite3 binary. The error message indicates that the better-sqlite3 module was compiled with NODE_MODULE_VERSION 127, while my current Node.js version requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 131.
Possible solutions:

Try rebuilding the module:
pnpm rebuild better-sqlite3

Reinstall the better-sqlite3 module:
pnpm uninstall better-sqlite3 && pnpm install better-sqlite3

Ensure the version of Node.js being used matches the version the module was compiled for.

Additional Information
I am using Node Version Manager (nvm) to manage different Node.js versions.
The project is running in a Linux environment, but my system is dual-booted with Windows. I am using a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environment.
Expected Behavior
I expect the server to start successfully, but instead, the error prevents the agent from starting.

file:///mnt/c/Users/-/sb/eliza/packages/client-twitter/node_modules/agent-twitter-client/dist/node/esm/index.mjs

i changed this line :
import { Check } from '@sinclair/typebox/value';
