Why doesn't the code work when run with exec()?

Question

JavaScript

I am executing code based on this library. (The repository files are located in the instAPI folder)
Project structure


When the command is executed from the terminal, the

script is successfully executed.
And if you run the same command from the js script, which is located in the tgBot folder using exec

let videoFile = 'file_7.mp4';
let photoFile = 'file_8.jpg';
exec('ts-node /root/autoinst/instAPI/bot/upload.ts videoStory ' + videoFile + ' ' + photoFile, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
      if(error){
        console.log('EXEC ERROR - '+error);
      }else{
        console.log('EXEC OK');
      }
    })

The script does not work and gives errors


What can I do?
