I looked up the error on google and got different results. I have tried different things from reinstalling Microsoft Visual Studio, to editing files in my registry. I have tried a bunch of things and asked for help on other forums as well. I just can not seem to figure this out on my own and would appreciate some.

Answer 1

I would suggest you to install the build tools for node. These will help you compile node-gyp packages and most likely fix your error. Simply start PowerShell as Administrator and run:

npm install --global windows-build-tools

Or, if you are using Yarn:

yarn global add windows-build-tools

NPM Package: windows-build-tools

You could also install Python 2.7 and Visual C++ Build Tools manually but windows-build-tools handles this all for you!
