Windows Environment

Some npm modules require compilation of C++ native code. To be able to install such modules, a few additional steps are required after installing node:

  1. Install VC++ Build Tools Technical Preview

💡 [Windows 7 only] requires .NET Framework 4.5.1

  1. Install Python 2.7, and add it to your PATH (by selecting the option in the installer or manually afterwards)
  2. Launch cmd and run:
  • npm config set python python2.7
  • npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global
