**Description**  
" zoomsdk.node’  
was compiled against a different Node.js version using  
NODE\_MODULE\_VERSION 85. This version of Node.js requires  
NODE\_MODULE\_VERSION 101. Please try re-compiling or re-installing  
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`)."

Doing npm rebuild doesn’t help, same error. For installation followed exact steps in Zoom’s Electron SDK guide.

**Which Electron Meeting SDK version?**  
Latest.

Node version: 12.18.0  
NPM Version: 6.14.4

Ok found out the issue.

This doc here:

> **[Download and install](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/electron/download-and-install/)**
>
> The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.

…is completely misleading with regards to versions of dependencies required for “Latest” version of Electron SDK.

In reality I needed to use NodeJS version 17.0.0, but this doc says “12.18.0”.
