NPM install fails with node-gyp

Question

We are having problems running \"npm install\" on our project. A certain file cannot be found :

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: \'w         


        

Answer 1

The last time I saw a similar error it was because I was using the wrong version of npm and/or node for one of my dependencies. Try upgrading these and try again.

Before trying again remove your node_modules directory.

You may need to investigate what versions of npm and node your dependencies need. You could try the latest versions of all your dependencies, node and npm.

Check what versions your colleagues are using.

What OS are you using? That can have an impact as version of CLANG maybe different.
