title: FFMPEG not found (and i can't install it)
body: <p>I'm creating music commands for my discord bot written or discord.js. But FFMPEG problem won't let me launch one of them.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed these needed packages: ytdl, ffmpeg-binaries, discord.js, opusscript (maybe could forgot about some)
  I can't also install node-opus (error below), but also not sure if it really needed (someone told me it is)</p>
  
  <p>Also don't judge me, I am really new to JavaScript</p>
