**Description** I am trying to use the Zoom web sdk, I have node 12.16.3. I followed hte instructions in, [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/reference) Basically, clone, npm install and npm run start. On the other hand, I tried writing a sample app on my own and I get this in the browser console log “Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module” — above error is referencing “import { ZoomMtg } from ‘@zoomus/websdk’;” **Error** $ npm -v 6.14.4 $ node -v v12.16.3 $ npm run start > websdk-local@1.7.6 start /home/srikar/workspace/external/sample-app-web/Local > set NODE\_ENV=development && set BABEL\_ENV=development && webpack-dev-server --config webpack.config.dev.js --https false --open [http://localhost:9999/index.html](http://localhost:9999/index.html) --watch ℹ ｢wds｣: Project is running at [http://0.0.0.0:9999/](http://0.0.0.0:9999/) ℹ ｢wds｣: webpack output is served from /static ℹ ｢wds｣: Content not from webpack is served from /home/srikar/workspace/external/sample-app-web/Local events.js:287 throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event ^ Error: spawn [http://localhost:9999/index.html](http://localhost:9999/index.html) ENOENT at Process.ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (internal/child\_process.js:267:19) at onErrorNT (internal/child\_process.js:469:16) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:84:21) Emitted ‘error’ event on ChildProcess instance at: at Process.ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (internal/child\_process.js:273:12) at onErrorNT (internal/child\_process.js:469:16) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:84:21) { errno: ‘ENOENT’, code: ‘ENOENT’, syscall: ‘spawn [http://localhost:9999/index.html](http://localhost:9999/index.html)’, path: ‘[http://localhost:9999/index.html](http://localhost:9999/index.html)’, spawnargs: [‘[http://0.0.0.0:9999/](http://0.0.0.0:9999/)’ ] } npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! websdk-local@1.7.6 start: `set NODE_ENV=development && set BABEL_ENV=development && webpack-dev-server --config webpack.config.dev.js --https false --open http://localhost:9999/index.html --watch` npm ERR!

I’m also facing the same issue with zoom sample-app-web… I’m using zoom web sdk 1.7.9 - implementing local version here is my meeting.js ` import { ZoomMtg } from “@zoomus/websdk”; const testTool = window.testTool; // get meeting args from url const tmpArgs = testTool.parseQuery(); const meetingConfig = { apiKey: tmpArgs.apiKey, meetingNumber: tmpArgs.mn, userName: (function () { if (tmpArgs.name) { try { return testTool.b64DecodeUnicode(tmpArgs.name); } catch (e) { return tmpArgs.name; } } return ( “CDN#” + tmpArgs.version + “#” + testTool.detectOS() + “#” + testTool.getBrowserInfo() ); })(), passWord: tmpArgs.pwd, leaveUrl: “/index.html”, role: parseInt(tmpArgs.role, 10), userEmail: (function () { try { return testTool.b64DecodeUnicode(tmpArgs.email); } catch (e) { return tmpArgs.email; } })(), lang: tmpArgs.lang, signature: tmpArgs.signature || “”, china: tmpArgs.china === “1”, };` ` console.log(JSON.stringify(ZoomMtg.checkSystemRequirements())); // it’s option if you want to change the WebSDK dependency link resources. setZoomJSLib must be run at first ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm(); ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk(); function beginJoin(signature) { ZoomMtg.init({ leaveUrl: meetingConfig.leaveUrl, webEndpoint: meetingConfig.webEndpoint, success: function () { console.log(meetingConfig); console.log(“signature”, signature); $.i18n.reload(meetingConfig.lang); ZoomMtg.join({ meetingNumber: meetingConfig.meetingNumber, userName: meetingConfig.userName, signature: signature, apiKey: meetingConfig.apiKey, userEmail: meetingConfig.userEmail, passWord: meetingConfig.passWord, success: function (res) { console.log(“join meeting success”); console.log(“get attendeelist”); ZoomMtg.getAttendeeslist({}); ZoomMtg.getCurrentUser({ success: function (res) { console.log(“success getCurrentUser”, res.result.currentUser); }, }); }, error: function (res) { console.log(res); }, }); }, error: function (res) { console.log(res); }, }); } beginJoin(meetingConfig.signature); ` ---

Hey @samadhan.madane31, Can you see if this fixes it: > [@Installing sample-app-web gives error](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/installing-sample-app-web-gives-error/12103/16): > > npm run start if directly run following command on terminal then it was working sudo webpack-dev-server --config webpack.config.dev.js --watch Thanks, Tommy ---
