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

@pankajku,
Thank you for the details. Please note that Aspose.Slides for Node.js via .NET requires .NET 6 or above installed on the OS. Could you please confirm that you have installed it?

yes I have installed all the necessary system requirements. Please note that I am able to install and run Aspose.slides for node.js via .net on windows following the same instructions.

But on mac, it fails with the error cause being :
/node_modules/aspose.slides.via.net/lib/FuncContext.js
refers to Apose.Slides.SharedAPI.NET6.dll instead of dylib.
