npm install wrtc
Installing from NPM downloads a prebuilt binary for your operating system × architecture. Set the TARGET_ARCH environment variable to "arm" or "arm64" to download for armv7l or arm64, respectively. Linux and macOS users can also set the DEBUG environment variable to download debug builds.
You can also build from source.
The following platforms are confirmed to work with node-webrtc and have prebuilt binaries available. Since node-webrtc targets N-API version 3, there may be additional platforms supported that are not listed here. If your platform is not supported, you may still be able to build from source.
