I'm using Windows 8.1. I installed Visual Studio 2015 community edition. When I run npm install -g generator-keystone, I get the error at the bottom. I tried running the following commands, but I'm still getting the same results.

I went into Visual Studio and created a Visual C++ project, which installed several libraries. npm install worked after that.
I went to \Users\[my-user]\.windows-build-tools - an install file for VS Build-tools was there (for 2017 it's vs_BuildTools.exe), I ran and installed it.
After that I ran npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
("Option 1" from here).
Then it worked.
If your project is very old, try a different platform. In one case I changed Project -> Properties -> Platform Toolset from Windows XP to a newer platform, then picked Rebuild Solution.
Somehow cl.exe was missing from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64 folder. I had to delete and reinstall buildtools using the installer.
Since I don't have 50 reputation I can't comment to a couple of the questions on here.
The bin folder that one of the posters is referring to is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin" this could be different for other users based on what version of Visual Studio you have installed on your system. Guessing that they are just putting msbuild on the PATH without more information.
Another poster put that they changed 140 to 142 and it worked. They are talking about the "PlatformToolset" version in the vcxproj file. The reason this fix worked for them is that they have Visual Studio 2019 and the vcxproj file was set up to build on Visual Studio 2015. If they are working with other people and push their project the next person to pull it could have the same issue if they are using a different version of Visual Studio than 2019.
I use visual basic 2019 latest version. Couldn't run a project with toolset 140. Insted it pops the message TRK0005: Failed to locate: CL.exe. I change it to 142 and it works.
For me this problem was solved after including bin folder in the windows environment variable

How can I solve the error?
TL;DR
Use the Visual Studio Installer to get the Desktop development with C++ workload in one of the Visual Studio versions you have installed in your machine:
Reason/Details
Reading through the log, the main error is due to this:
msvs_version not set from command line or npm config
After this one you find a few of these:
"Visual Studio C++ core features" missing
And later:
You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio including the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
For more information consult the documentation at:
VS https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
Finally:
Could not find any Visual Studio installation to use
So to solve the problem, you just need to get "Desktop development with C++" workload.
If you have a Visual Studio version installed
open Visual Studio Installer (Win + search for it)
on the list displayed with all Visual Studio Installations you have in your PC, press the Modify button of one of them (preferably the latest version)
on the Workloads grid/list select the checkbox with Desktop development with C++
Press one of the Install buttons
gyp will then find that version and use it:
gyp info find Python using Python version 3.8.1 found at "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe"
gyp info find VS using VS2019 (16.4.29709.97) found at:
gyp info find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\
With NO Visual Studio installed
The following solutions assume you have node installed. Disclaimer: I did not test any of them, but I appreciate everyone that reported them solving this issue.
Alternative 0: before installing additional software
As kaulshapranav wrote in a couple of comments, slightly shortened/rephrased:
windows-build-tools installation log mentions this tools package is deprecated and is already included with node. It corrupts my anaconda installation by installing a separate python 2.7 (...); updating npm version from 6 -> 8 solved the issue.
npm comes with node, so the solution: update your node/npm version. However, if you need to retain specific versions, nvm (notice the v) allows to change between them: simple tutorial on how to use nvm.
Alternative 1
As Hamid Jolany's answer suggests, on an admin shell, simply install the build tools package globally (node-gyp README):
npm i -g windows-build-tools
Alternative 2
Ragavan's idea/answer from a similar thread:
verify if you have VS build tools by running npm config get msvs_version (if you have, skip to step 4 and attempt setting the environment variables)
if not installed, get the VS build tools latest version exe and install it (Ragavan's idea was with or Microsoft Build Tools 2015)
run npm config set msvs_version 2019 --global (or npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global according to Ragavan's idea)
Possibly optional: set the VCTargetsPathenvironment variable (Win + search for var) to the appropriate path (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v5.0) or through Run as Admin terminal, as in Ragavan's idea with the 2015 Build Tools:
set VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140"
or in Powershell: $env:VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140
Side notes:
a previous error might be resolved by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019;
you might also want to restart after installing any of the above
Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
Full Guidance in GitHub
To get this to work with Visual Studio 2022, I had to run:
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Use the following command before npm install:
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
Changing \Enterprise\ to \Community\ worked for me.
I solved the issue with npm install -g node-gyp, then npm install.
Visual Studio Installer -> Modify Installed(Visual Studio Community 2019) -> Workloads(tab) -> [x] Desktop development with C++ -> Install
I finally solved it on my end
here is how I did it
run this command on visual studio: npm config get msvs_version( mine was saying undefined)
then I run npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global(I was not seeing undefined anymore)
Then run: npm install. then I run my automation but this time I was seeing (Miscellaneous Warning SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN:)
then I run set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 and voila!!! it is working
I hope this helps .it was really annoying because some of my automation file was not working
Start by running this (you can edit the year and type of VS you have i.e 2022 and community)
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Afterwards Run npm install -g node-gyp, then npm install.
Make sure all this is done within the project.
Try
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
It worked for me.
I only installed C++ build tools (refer picture) through Visual Studio Build Tools (2019 version). No other steps required for me on Win 10 Pro.
I tried to solve this issue using npm i -g windows-build-tools but not working then I install Visual Studio Build Tools desktop development with c++ tools
and finally successfully solved this issue
Cool！
Following old answers, npm i -g windows-build-tools is an easy and successful answer. But windows-build-tools exists a bug with issue: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools/issues/244. Try and do it!
just update module gulp-sass to the latest version, add sass module to the package.json and write
const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));
to the gulpfile.js to get rid off node-gyp.
i fixed by install vscode 2017 and Desktop development with C++(im install with default optinal select download. not sure if not select default optinal see image.
will error or not) with vsInstaller and set (please set with Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017) use command with your directory project not global example: cd "G:\work\projectA"
set msbuild_path by command:
npm config set msbuild_path "G:\vs 2017\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" (im setup with drive G by initiate because my c drive is full)
set msvs_version by command:
npm config set msvs_version 2017 (before im use 2015 can't work)
im check node-gyp can work? by command
node-gyp configure if not err. congat you can use npm install now
note: you can check local value by npm config get ....
If you are still facing issues with installation of windows build

I got the same issue and was confused about what I should do. I searched the whole web and still no solution.
What I decided to do is that
npm outdated
When you try this command you will see all the versions basically and in detail you understand which version is needed, which is the latest version at that moment, and which version your project json file has.

Then after I figure out all reds to yellow, all the packages are installed and ready to use.
Now try it again.
Worked for me; it should work for you too.
If all of above doesn't help, verify that your command prompt is not customized
E.g., if you're using MS Windows and you use doskey to add aliases on startup.
The tools that look for Visual Studio installation get mixed up if this happens.
You can test if this is the case by manually opening a new command prompt and verifying it has bare minimum output, such as
Microsoft Windows ...
(c) ...
$Path>
My solution was combination of all previous fixes:
Install Visual Studio 2017 (https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202017 - It will ask you to log in, choose Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.9))
When installing, choose Desktop development with C++ (or similar name)
In C:\Users\<your_username>\ open .npmrc file and delete everything inside, save and close file
Now you need to set environment variables. If you don't know how to do it google it.
3.1 In section user variables click new, set variable name as VCINSTALLDIR and variable value as C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\ (note that path can be different in your case but make sure that VC path is provided).
In terminal do:
4.1 npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
(note that location can be different in your case, but make sure you are specifying correct path to MSBuild.exe including MSBuild.exe)
4.2 npm config set msvs_version 2017
Now you can run build or install. When I did all the steps, I didn't get error.
For me worked the trick of using of npm 14.14.0
gyp started to work perfectly well
ps for my project I also installed Visual Studio Build Tools (2022 version) with Desktop development with C++ workload and Python311 with configuring its PATH in win10
Ensure that you have the latest npm installed.
npm install -g npm#latest
I also faced the same issue, what I did is I reinstall the nodejs

How can I solve the error?
TL;DR
Use the Visual Studio Installer to get the Desktop development with C++ workload in one of the Visual Studio versions you have installed in your machine:
Reason/Details
Reading through the log, the main error is due to this:
msvs_version not set from command line or npm config
After this one you find a few of these:
"Visual Studio C++ core features" missing
And later:
You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio including the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
For more information consult the documentation at:
VS https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
Finally:
Could not find any Visual Studio installation to use
So to solve the problem, you just need to get "Desktop development with C++" workload.
If you have a Visual Studio version installed
open Visual Studio Installer (Win + search for it)
on the list displayed with all Visual Studio Installations you have in your PC, press the Modify button of one of them (preferably the latest version)
on the Workloads grid/list select the checkbox with Desktop development with C++
Press one of the Install buttons
gyp will then find that version and use it:
gyp info find Python using Python version 3.8.1 found at "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe"
gyp info find VS using VS2019 (16.4.29709.97) found at:
gyp info find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\
With NO Visual Studio installed
The following solutions assume you have node installed. Disclaimer: I did not test any of them, but I appreciate everyone that reported them solving this issue.
Alternative 0: before installing additional software
As kaulshapranav wrote in a couple of comments, slightly shortened/rephrased:
windows-build-tools installation log mentions this tools package is deprecated and is already included with node. It corrupts my anaconda installation by installing a separate python 2.7 (...); updating npm version from 6 -> 8 solved the issue.
npm comes with node, so the solution: update your node/npm version. However, if you need to retain specific versions, nvm (notice the v) allows to change between them: simple tutorial on how to use nvm.
Alternative 1
As Hamid Jolany's answer suggests, on an admin shell, simply install the build tools package globally (node-gyp README):
npm i -g windows-build-tools
Alternative 2
Ragavan's idea/answer from a similar thread:
verify if you have VS build tools by running npm config get msvs_version (if you have, skip to step 4 and attempt setting the environment variables)
if not installed, get the VS build tools latest version exe and install it (Ragavan's idea was with or Microsoft Build Tools 2015)
run npm config set msvs_version 2019 --global (or npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global according to Ragavan's idea)
Possibly optional: set the VCTargetsPathenvironment variable (Win + search for var) to the appropriate path (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v5.0) or through Run as Admin terminal, as in Ragavan's idea with the 2015 Build Tools:
set VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140"
or in Powershell: $env:VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140
Side notes:
a previous error might be resolved by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019;
you might also want to restart after installing any of the above
Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
Full Guidance in GitHub
To get this to work with Visual Studio 2022, I had to run:
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Use the following command before npm install:
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
Changing \Enterprise\ to \Community\ worked for me.
I solved the issue with npm install -g node-gyp, then npm install.
Visual Studio Installer -> Modify Installed(Visual Studio Community 2019) -> Workloads(tab) -> [x] Desktop development with C++ -> Install
I finally solved it on my end
here is how I did it
run this command on visual studio: npm config get msvs_version( mine was saying undefined)
then I run npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global(I was not seeing undefined anymore)
Then run: npm install. then I run my automation but this time I was seeing (Miscellaneous Warning SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN:)
then I run set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 and voila!!! it is working
I hope this helps .it was really annoying because some of my automation file was not working
Start by running this (you can edit the year and type of VS you have i.e 2022 and community)
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Afterwards Run npm install -g node-gyp, then npm install.
Make sure all this is done within the project.
Try
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
It worked for me.
I only installed C++ build tools (refer picture) through Visual Studio Build Tools (2019 version). No other steps required for me on Win 10 Pro.
I tried to solve this issue using npm i -g windows-build-tools but not working then I install Visual Studio Build Tools desktop development with c++ tools
and finally successfully solved this issue
Cool！
Following old answers, npm i -g windows-build-tools is an easy and successful answer. But windows-build-tools exists a bug with issue: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools/issues/244. Try and do it!
just update module gulp-sass to the latest version, add sass module to the package.json and write
const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));
to the gulpfile.js to get rid off node-gyp.
i fixed by install vscode 2017 and Desktop development with C++(im install with default optinal select download. not sure if not select default optinal see image.
will error or not) with vsInstaller and set (please set with Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017) use command with your directory project not global example: cd "G:\work\projectA"
set msbuild_path by command:
npm config set msbuild_path "G:\vs 2017\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" (im setup with drive G by initiate because my c drive is full)
set msvs_version by command:
npm config set msvs_version 2017 (before im use 2015 can't work)
im check node-gyp can work? by command
node-gyp configure if not err. congat you can use npm install now
note: you can check local value by npm config get ....
If you are still facing issues with installation of windows build

I got the same issue and was confused about what I should do. I searched the whole web and still no solution.
What I decided to do is that
npm outdated
When you try this command you will see all the versions basically and in detail you understand which version is needed, which is the latest version at that moment, and which version your project json file has.
C:\GitHub\portfolio>npm outdated

Then after I figure out all reds to yellow, all the packages are installed and ready to use.
Now try it again.
Worked for me; it should work for you too.
If all of above doesn't help, verify that your command prompt is not customized
E.g., if you're using MS Windows and you use doskey to add aliases on startup.
The tools that look for Visual Studio installation get mixed up if this happens.
You can test if this is the case by manually opening a new command prompt and verifying it has bare minimum output, such as
Microsoft Windows ...
(c) ...

My solution was combination of all previous fixes:
Install Visual Studio 2017 (https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202017 - It will ask you to log in, choose Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.9))
When installing, choose Desktop development with C++ (or similar name)
In C:\Users\<your_username>\ open .npmrc file and delete everything inside, save and close file
Now you need to set environment variables. If you don't know how to do it google it.
3.1 In section user variables click new, set variable name as VCINSTALLDIR and variable value as C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\ (note that path can be different in your case but make sure that VC path is provided).
In terminal do:
4.1 npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
(note that location can be different in your case, but make sure you are specifying correct path to MSBuild.exe including MSBuild.exe)
4.2 npm config set msvs_version 2017
Now you can run build or install. When I did all the steps, I didn't get error.
For me worked the trick of using of npm 14.14.0
gyp started to work perfectly well
ps for my project I also installed Visual Studio Build Tools (2022 version) with Desktop development with C++ workload and Python311 with configuring its PATH in win10
Ensure that you have the latest npm installed.
npm install -g npm#latest

You do not have to install Visual Studio, just install the windows build tools:
run CMD as Admin
run npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
This should fix that.
There are 2 aspects to this error. Now in 2022, if you have installed Visual Studio 2022, even after installing Desktop development with C++ or the build tools it still wont work.
Few things you need to do even after installation.
npm config get python should be set to Python 3.x
--> npm config set python C:\Python310\python.exe
npm config get msvs_version should be using 2022
--> npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global
Additionally you can set
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
your VCINSTALLDIR ENV variable should be set to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC
In some case it still wont work, then you can follow the additional steps, visit the folder of your Node.js exe installation, should be same even for an nvm node version; https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/docs/Updating-npm-bundled-node-gyp.md
cd "C:\Program Files\nodejs"
cd node_modules\npm\node_modules\#npmcli\run-script
npm install node-gyp#latest
Open your Visual Studio & then in 'search box' search VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools and install then search Desktop development with C++ install it. Hope this helps.
If you are using Chocolatey, install the following:
choco install visualstudio2019buildtools visualstudio2019-workload-vctools
It is because the C++ build tools are not installed. It can be solved by installing VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools in Visual Studio installer:
Your powershell is running probably in constrained mode.
See this thread: how to change PowerShell mode to fulllanguage mode from constrained mode?
Downloading the latest Visual Studio build Tools
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019
and running the following command in the 'Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools' Directory
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
and Installing node-gyp in the current directory
npm install node-gyp
Worked For me on Windows 10
for more, please visite the official node-gyp installation guide
I had to set python path for npm even though I had python on my PATH.
npm config set python /path/to/executable/python
then try npm install again
It should be a npm package bug of windows-build-tools.
Step 1: Be sure you installed Visual Studio Code
Step 2: Search %temp% under window search bar (Copy %temp% then press windows button + Ctrl V)
Step 3: Create 'dd_client_.log.txt' and enter 'Closing installer. Return code: 3010.'
Now you should be able to finish the whole process with npm install --global windows-build-tools
My working environment: Visual Studio Enterprise 2022, Python 3.11, and Node v18.13.0. I did everything according to steel's answer, but still got errors. Looks like npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global doesn't help.
I finally got it working by adding an Environment Variable - GYP_MSVS_VERSION and setting it to 2022.
Download Visual Studio Community Edition
Run the executable
Choose the options as below.
and it should solve the issue.
In case if someone still has the visual studio installation required error after going through all the steps mentioned above. I had this issue when I was trying to run an electron application. The solution for my issue was simply adding the visual studio to the environment variables after going through all the above steps.
To set the path run the following command on cmd (if possible as admin):
setx VCTargetsPath “C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0"
Note: the path for my visual studio was as in the above. you may have to change it according to your installation.
The software versions I was using are as follows:
nodejs : 14.17.0
OS : windows10 64-bit
Python : 2.7.15 (installed default with node js)
Visual studio : community edition 2019
some of the other things to check is to make sure the python version, msvs_version are set to the correct versions in the npm config.
Instead of running 'npm install', run 'npm update' directly in the folder. This solved my issue.
Same issue after upgrading to latest node LTS version. This did the trick for me:
removed node_modules folder
removed package-lock.json file
npm install
TLDR: Installing the latest LTS version of Node.js via Windows Installer worked for me somehow. Latest LTS Version
I tried all the answers from this thread and some other articles as well but nothing was working for me. After spending 6+ hours on this issue, I saw this note on Windows-Build-Tools Github page.
Please note that the official Node.js for Windows installer can now automatically install the required tools. That's likely a much better option than the module listed here (windows-build-tools).
So I installed the latest LTS version of Node.js via Windows Installer from Node js website as shown in the above image and it worked somehow.
Solution that worked for me was to install latest Visual Studio Build Tools and then execute following command, taken from node-gyp installation instructions here:
npm config set msvs_version 2017
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
on my computer works with the next commands
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
npm install node-gyp
npm audit fix
npm install node-phpass
Same issue faced by me with VS 2022 community edition, node 15.x, python 3.10

Thanks
I had the same problem before, thanks C. Szabo's answer.
node-gyp use Powershell script to find Visual Studio. You should check
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
in Powershell. If it return 'ConstrainedLanguage', node-gyp will fail to find Visual Studio. Change _PSLockdownPolicy in register can fix this problem, see this answer. (Don't forget to reboot Windows)
I also encountered this error. After trying all the suggestions I could find and spending 2 days trying to resolve it, I finally found out the reason it wasn't working for me was that in my build environment I didn't have ProgramData env variable defined. After adding "ProgramData": "C:\ProgramData" everything started working like a charm.
When this env var is not defined, for whatever reason, query2.EnumAllInstances() in Find-VisualStudio.cs returns empty enumeration.
Hopefully this will be useful for someone as well.
My friend creates the project and her node/npm versions are not compatible with mine.
So I try to upgrade my npm versions only. It's solved the problem.
But some of the dependencies are not working. So I update the node versions, as along with the npm version, will update. It solved almost all problems and errors.
You should find the correct compatible version of node and npm. Here you can find the node version and compatible npm version.
Make sure to check your npm version and node versions are compatible.
I am been facing this problem for weeks now, with no hope of being solved. I am new to Aurelia JavaScript Framework and I am getting grips around the skeleton project hosted on github.
I have successfully installed nodejs, npm and jspm. As part of the requirements I am supposed to run:
npm install
The code runs well but hits a block with the error below

I don't know what I am missing or doing wrong. I would appreciate any help out there to get this running without any error or to put me in a step into the right direction to solve this.
Thank you.
This usually happens because you do not have the necessary build tools on your computer to build the package.
On Unix make sure you have:
python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
make
A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC
On Mac OS X:
Xcode
You also need to install the Command Line Tools via Xcode. You can find this under the menu Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
This step will install gcc and the related toolchain containing make
On Windows:
Visual C++ Build Environment:
Option 1: Install Visual C++ Build Tools using the Default Install option.
Option 2: Install Visual Studio 2015 (or modify an existing installation) and select Common Tools for Visual C++ during setup. This also works with the free Community and Express for Desktop editions.
I've been trying to install PreRender.Io on my local machine to test. I've installed Python 2.7.10. When I type:
npm install prerender
It gives an error:

I couldn't locate CL.exe, and a quick search on Google seems to be some missing Visual C++ compiler. However, I tried installing say VC++ 2008 redistributable x86, but still same problem.
Any idea what could be wrong? OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
I've managed to solve the problem, although it was quite strange. Honestly, I'm not sure which one solved it completely as I've done quite some stuff. I had installed Visual Studio 2015 on my machine. Below is a summary of what I've done:
Installed Visual C++ Compiler, from the VS 2015 installation. By default it was unticked. I think this is what fixed the issue.
Added the path where CL.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin) and stdlib.h (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include) are located to the PATH environment variable.
Executed the npm install prerender from the Developer Command Prompt in of Visual Studio 2015, running in Administrator mode
I'm just going through an Angular JS tutorial and had this issue, but their docs suggest it isn't a problem:
"We often see an npm WARN message after a series of gyp ERR! messages. Ignore them. A package may try to re-compile itself using node-gyp. If the re-compile fails, the package recovers (typically with a pre-built version) and everything works."
https://angular.io/guide/quickstart
For me the problem came after installing a new version of node. npm install would show the error above. Then I got the error above but not for the package PreRender.Io but for gulp-sass, though I believe the problem has the same root. To solve it, I installed the previous version of node I'd been using (6.9.5) and then I used nvm to manage node versions as described here: https://www.sitepoint.com/quick-tip-multiple-versions-node-nvm/
Switching to the previous version of node using nvm meant I could do npm install without having to install a large SDK I wasn't going to end up using.
