I have a NPM project that uses bufferutils
and utf-8-validate
, both requiring node-gyp to install them. When I do npm install
, I get following error:

Previously it failed because of Python 2.7 not installed, now it is this. It's causing me headaches. What should I do about this?
node-gyp-install. Afterwards installing native modules that uses node-gyp using iojs should just work. node-gyp-install. npm install level # does not explode \o/ Per default node-gyp-install will install header files for your current node version.
The Npm command not found error can appear when you install or upgrade npm. On Windows, the cause of this error could be that a PATH or system variable is not correctly set. The error can also occur if you do not have npm or Node. js installed, have an outdated version, or have permission issues.
The answer below stands for a manual installation, but there is a much simpler way : the automatic install.
Open Powershell as admin and run npm install -g windows-build-tools
.
The install takes time but it worked like a charm for me !
I found this brilliant solution on GitHub:
python --version
in the console. If not thenchoco install python2 -y
)) and add python.exe
to your PATH variable.npm config -g set msvs_version 2015
npm i
in what-ever project with node-gyp as a dependency without seeing weird error messagesMy nightmares are gone!
