Failed to Install Aspose.Slides for Node.js via .NET on macOS

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi team,

I am exploring and trying to install aspose.slides for node.js via .net using the instructions for mac at Installation|Aspose.Slides for Node.js via .NET Documentation

I have tried using npm install aspose.slides.via.net. This installs the lib. On running sample hello.js, it crashes inside this file:

/node_modules/aspose.slides.via.net/lib/FuncContext.js ,

Here it refers to Apose.Slides.SharedAPI.NET6.dll instead of dylib. This seems like it is getting installed for windows environment only.

Can you please help in installing the correct lib for mac ?

Thanks

However, after debugging we found that the issue is that it is trying to link to .dll file, post which it crashes
