Thats the error message i get and have been stuck with for quite some time now.

There seems to be a lot of issue installing on windows lately, the developer could fix these by providing prebuilt binaries for windows, like he does for linux

The same problem occurs in mac (catalina), too.

The same problem with me, but i do npm rebuild or rm -rf node_modules && npm install that's work!

MacOS:

1. Install XCode
2. Once XCode is installed, go to Preferences, Downloads, and install the Command Line Tools.

Windows:

1. npm i -g --add-python-to-path --vs2015 --production windows-build-tools
2. npm i -g node-gyp@latest

Linux:

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential

I have not. I dont have a mac and I plain refuse to install anything Visual Studio on my machines (if some software bundles it then sure I guess, but I don't like it)

I just tried it (the vs2015 part), and can confirm it works, though I'd like to point out that if your using nvm with custom paths, you may have to move some files yourself

I just try to downgrade the node version to v12, and it works.

[hansputera]

I tried with node version v15 and v14 won't work.

[JoshuaWise]

Can you see if it works in v7.4.4?
