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

Based on the node-gyp README, update npm npm i npm -g, and will bring in a newer version of node-gyp.

Hint: if you are on windows perform npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
