readme. Basically you'll need Python 2.7, make
, and a C/C++ compiler (like GCC on unix, Xcode on OS X, or Visual Studio tools on Windows). To tell npm to use Python 2.7 (if you also have a different version installed), run npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
. Here's a snapshot of the instructions from their readme:python
(v2.7
recommended, v3.x.x
is not supported)make
python
(v2.7
recommended, v3.x.x
is not supported) (already installed on Mac OS X)Command Line Tools
via Xcode. You can find this under the menu Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
gcc
and the related toolchain containing make
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).v3.x.x
is not supported), and run npm config set python python2.7
(or see below for further instructions on specifying the proper Python version and path.)npm config set msvs_version 2015
