Could not locate the bindings files.

See original GitHub issue

I installed torrentflix via npm on a Void Linux machine, and I simply doesn’t work. Every time I try to launch it I get this error message:

/usr/lib/node_modules/torrentflix/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:96
  throw err
  ^

Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

I tried installing bindings manually with npm, but that didnt work.
