I had Visual Studio with Visual C# only. Then I installed Visual C++ too. And now I have new problems.

I tried https://github.com/iiegor/ptyw.js. It works in Windows 10, still fails in Windows 10 IoT Core.

Not sure if this is the same problem or a different one, but I get the following npm-debug.log on Window 10 with Node 6.

Have the same error when installing demo for xterm.js that use pty.js on Windows 7.

Does pty.js support windows?

[Kopleman]

+1, tried demo fpr xterm.js and tty,js, both failed on windows 10.

Hi friend, I have performed the following steps to work

Install the dependencies

• Python v2.7.3+ (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi)
• Windows SDK v7.1+ (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279)
• Windows SDK v10 (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk)
• Visual Studio 2015 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691)

Enter the following commands in the CMD

npm install -g node-gyp
npm --vcc-build-tools-parameters='[""/Full""]' install --global windows-build-tools
set PYTHONPATH=/path/to/python2.7
set PYTHON=%PYTHONPATH%/python.exe
node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7
npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
npm config set msvs_version 2015

Include path

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt

@andrehrf solution worked for me. Some changes though:

• On Windows 10, installing Windows SDK v10 is enough. In fact, Win SDK v7 failed to install.

• node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7 doesn't work. Not a valid command. But I was able to get past node-pty install without this.
