The actual output is way big. I have removed the middle part of the error. I have tried deleting the folder and again downloading it. I have tried multiple ways to solve it but didn't work.

Windows generally doesn't work well with Node and npm, so maybe try WSL (which is very slow but works a bit better). If you want to try from Windows, make sure to close any text editor that might have a file open in the source directory, as often it's a problem with locked files.

There are no errors there as far as I can see

This is my first time with open source.. Sorry if you are finding my doubts silly. It is just that I would love to contribute to this project

Since the output after running the --force command was big I didn't include the entire output in my previous reply. I just wanted to make sure whether running --force command is harmful or not.

This is the output which I got after running npm install --force.
Is it fine or should I go for wsl. I downloaded the wsl 2 in my system. .

Ok, now I see the error.
In future when posting logs or code wrap them in 3 backticks ``` that'd make it more readable.

Did you install windows-build-tools like it's said the BUILD.md doc?

npm install -g windows-build-tools --vs2015

If not - give it a try.

mitej23 · 26 July 2021 20:53

Even though I had installed the vs2015 of windows-build-tools. I tried installing it once again. Surprisingly it worked now. I am not sure why it was not working previously. But thank you for all the help. Surely I would love to contribute to this project.

JackGruber · 27 July 2021 07:06

The command does not always work. It does something but does not install the 2015 version.
I've been messing around with one of my windows installations with this problem. You can also find in the repro some issues to the problem.

I installed it myself by hand in the end.

Windows Build Tools 2015

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/f/7/5f7acaeb-8363-451f-9425-68a90f98b238/visualcppbuildtools_full.exe -OutFile visualcppbuildtools_full.exe
visualcppbuildtools_full.exe /NoRestart /S /L
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GYP_MSVS_VERSION", "2015", "User")
npm config set msvs_version 2015

Another option is to install the 2017 with the option Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools.

I can test the whole thing again on a new installation and update documentation or add some infos?

roman_r_m · 27 July 2021 08:18

Yeah, I saw that too. That thing is a mess.

mitej23 · 27 July 2021 09:14

I am not sure what's the problem with windows-build-tools. When I run npm install with --force parameter it works. It doesn't give any error. But if I try without the force parameter it gives me the gyp-node error
