NPM cannot install truffle on Windows

0 votes

I am trying to install "truffle" with npm, but I am not familiar with NodeJS and cant figure out why npm wont install it. I try npm install -g truffle in Powershell with Admin rights and after a few lines of output I get this block of error messages:

 gyp ERR! build error
 gyp ERR! stack Error: `C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\msbuild.exe` failed with exit code: 1
 gyp ERR! stack     at ChildProcess.onExit (F:\nodeJS\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\build.js:276:23)

 gyp ERR! node -v v4.5.0
 gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.4.0
 gyp ERR! not ok\

And then after many many yellow lines I finally get this:

 npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.14393
 npm ERR! argv "F:\\nodeJS\\node.exe" "F:\\nodeJS\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install" "-g" "truffle"

 npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:

 npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
 npm ERR!     npm bugs scrypt
 npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:

 npm ERR!     npm owner ls scrypt
 npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

Your install is failing at node-gyp rebuild. Solutions to this problem are listed on the node-gyp repo. The quickest is:

"Option 1: Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator)." This will install Python and Visual Studio correctly.

Also, you are using Node 4.5. The recommended version is 5+.
