Hi, I'm having issues with the npm configuration...

Seems to be a problem with installign node-serialport:

npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script.

I had this issue and found out I didn't have GCC installed. I installed GCC [separately](https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?=Command Line Tools %28OS X Mountain Lion%29) to avoid having to download the whole Xcode package and I was able to install successfully afterwards.

install xcode comand line tools

@carlituxman perfect. Thanks, that worked in OSX.

Do we have a fix for Windows users? I am on Windows 8.1 Pro, and faces the exact same issue.

[glidej]

@Blueblau I'm not familiar with the Windows environment, but it appears this issue stems from not having GCC installed. A quick google for "windows gcc" reveals this project. I would give that a try.

Thanks.

The mentioned issue resolved itself when I installed Python. But then I had trouble making the command "python" global. I still haven't found a solution to this, so I am on the verge of quitting.
