Look at the documentation for the module you are using.

This library will not run in web browsers / on the client-side / in webpack / in browserify / in angular / in react / in jQuery / in HTML. It will only run on Node.js environments, which the web browser is not.


There is no API in the browser that will expose the machine's MAC addresses to client-side JavaScript.

The closest you could come would be to write a web service (in the server-side programming language of your choice) which looked up the MAC address from the IP address the request came from. This would only work within a local network environment.
