Discord bot: Fix ‘FFMPEG not found’

Question

I want to make my Discord bot join voice chat but every time I make it I get a error into log(cmd) saying, FFMPEG not found, please help me.

Picture of the error:

This is the code:

client.on('message', message => {
  // Voice only works in guilds, if the message does not come from a guild,
  // we ignore it
  if (!message.guild) return;

  if (message.content === '/join') {
    // Only try to join the sender's voice channel if they are in one themselves
    if (message.member.voiceChannel) {
      message.member.voiceChannel.join()
        .then(connection => { // Connection is an instance of VoiceConnection
          message.reply('I have successfully connected to the channel!');
        })
        .catch(console.log);
    } else {
      message.reply('You need to join a voice channel first!');
    }
  }
});

this is my package.json file:

{
  "name": "xxxtentacion",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js",
    "dev": "nodemon index.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "^11.4.2",
    "dotenv": "^6.2.0",
    "ffmpeg": "0.0.4",
    "opusscript": "0.0.6"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "^1.18.9"
  }
}

Introduction to Voice Voice in discord.js can be used for many things, such as music bots, recording or relaying audio.

In discord.js, you can use voice by connecting to a VoiceChannel to obtain a VoiceConnection, where you can start streaming and receiving audio.

To get started, make sure you have:

FFmpeg - npm install ffmpeg-binaries
an opus encoder, choose one from below:

• npm install node-opus (better performance)
• npm install opusscript (a good network connection)

The preferred opus engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose node-opus. Using opusscript is only recommended for development environments where node-opus is tough to get working. For production bots, using node-opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.
