Troubles with NPM and node-gyp in Windows
Solution 1
Write those code in admin command prompt:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
And then hit enter.
Solution 2
You need Microsoft Visual C++ build tools, which are packaged with Visual Studio. However, they are now also available as a standalone download. After installing these tools and restarting your computer, you should be able to install packages that use node-gyp under the hood.
Solution 3
Windows open PowerShell in administrative tool and run this command
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Solution 4
From the official website: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp
You should do following cmd: (In my computer, I installed vc2015)
$ node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015

I have some troubles with npm packages on my Windows workstation... I have a set of NPM dependencies in my
package.json
file:"devDependencies": { "babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx": "^6.2.0", "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.1.18", "babel-preset-react": "^6.1.18", "grunt": "^0.4.5", "grunt-babel": "^6.0.0", "grunt-contrib-connect": "^0.11.2", "grunt-contrib-jasmine": "^0.9.2", "grunt-contrib-sass": "^0.9.2", "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1", "grunt-exec": "^0.4.6", "grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs": "^0.2.3", "karma-chrome-launcher": "^0.2.2", "karma-firefox-launcher": "^0.1.7", "karma-requirejs": "^0.2.2", "requirejs": "^2.1.22", "grunt-contrib-jshint": "^0.11.3", "grunt-karma": "^0.12.1", "karma": "^0.13.15", "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.6", "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^0.2.1" }
And when I trying to run
npm install
I get the strange error related tonode-gyp
package and something like\msbuild.exe
.Here is the error:

Can someone help to figure out with it issue? I'm not experienced windows user, but at the moment I should work with Windows :(
UPDATED: Here is the errors log which I update every time with new NPM errors.
System details: Windows 7 Enterprice 64-bit operating system
Node version: v5.1.0
NPM version: v3.3.12
Python Version: v2.7.1
Also I installed Microsoft Visual C++ build tools (provided in answer below). Version 14.0
