How can I solve the error?
node.js Solutions
Solution 1 - node.js
TL;DR
Use the Visual Studio Installer to get the Desktop development with C++ workload in one of the Visual Studio versions you have installed in your machine:
Reason/Details
Reading through the log, the main error is due to this:
> msvs_version not set from command line or npm config
After this one you find a few of these:
> "Visual Studio C++ core features" missing
And later:
> You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio including the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
> For more information consult the documentation at:
> VS https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
Finally:
> Could not find any Visual Studio installation to use
So to solve the problem, you just need to get "Desktop development with C++" workload.
If you have a Visual Studio version installed
- open Visual Studio Installer (Win + search for it)
- on the list displayed with all Visual Studio Installations you have in your PC, press the Modify button of one of them (preferably the latest version)
- on the Workloads grid/list select the checkbox with Desktop development with C++
- Press one of the Install buttons
gyp will then find that version and use it:
> gyp info find Python using Python version 3.8.1 found at "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe"
> gyp info find VS using VS2019 (16.4.29709.97) found at:
> gyp info find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\
With NO Visual Studio installed
The following solutions assume you have node installed. Disclaimer: I did not test any of them, but I appreciate everyone that reported them solving this issue.
Alternative 0: before installing additional software
As kaulshapranav wrote in a couple of comments, slightly shortened/rephrased:
> windows-build-tools installation log mentions this tools package is deprecated and is already included with node. It corrupts my anaconda installation by installing a separate python 2.7 (...); updating npm version from 6 -> 8 solved the issue.
npm comes with node, so the solution: update your node/npm version. However, if you need to retain specific versions, nvm (notice the v) allows to change between them: simple tutorial on how to use nvm.
Alternative 1
As Hamid Jolany's answer suggests, on an admin shell, simply install the build tools package globally (node-gyp README):
npm i -g windows-build-tools
Alternative 2
Ragavan's idea/answer from a similar thread:
- verify if you have VS build tools by running
npm config get msvs_version
(if you have, skip to step 4 and attempt setting the environment variables) - if not installed, get the VS build tools latest version exe and install it (Ragavan's idea was with or Microsoft Build Tools 2015)
- run
npm config set msvs_version 2019 --global
(ornpm config set msvs_version 2015 --global
according to Ragavan's idea) - Possibly optional: set the
VCTargetsPath
environment variable (Win + search for var) to the appropriate path (e.g.C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v5.0
) or through Run as Admin terminal, as in Ragavan's idea with the 2015 Build Tools:set VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140"
- or in Powershell:
$env:VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140
Side notes:
-
a previous error might be resolved by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019;
-
you might also want to restart after installing any of the above
Solution 2 - node.js
Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global windows-build-tools
from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
Solution 3 - node.js
use this command before "npm install"
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
changing \Enterprise\ to \Community\ worked for me.
Solution 4 - node.js
To get this to work with Visual Studio 2022, I had to run:
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Solution 5 - node.js
Visual Studio Installer -> Modify Installed(Visual Studio Community 2019) -> Workloads(tab) -> [x] Desktop development with C++ -> Install
Solution 6 - node.js
I solved the issue with npm install -g node-gyp
, then npm install
.
Solution 7 - node.js
I tried to solve this issue using npm i -g windows-build-tools
but not working then I install Visual Studio Build Tools desktop development with c++ tools
and finally successfully solved this issue
Solution 8 - node.js
I finally solved it on my end here is how I did it
- run this command on visual studio:
npm config get msvs_version
( mine was saying undefined) - then I run
npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global
(I was not seeing undefined anymore) - Then run:
npm install
. then I run my automation but this time I was seeing (Miscellaneous Warning SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN:) - then I run set
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
and voila!!! it is working
I hope this helps .it was really annoying because some of my automation file was not working
Solution 9 - node.js
I only installed C++ build tools (refer picture) through Visual Studio Build Tools (2019 version). No other steps required for me on Win 10 Pro.
Solution 10 - node.js
Cool!
Following old answers, npm i -g windows-build-tools
is an easy and successful answer. But windows-build-tools
exists a bug with issue: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools/issues/244. Try and do it!
Solution 11 - node.js
just update module gulp-sass
to the latest version, add sass
module to the package.json and write
const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));
to the gulpfile.js to get rid off node-gyp.
Solution 12 - node.js
Start by running this (you can edit the year and type of VS you have i.e 2022 and community)
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
Afterwards Run npm install -g node-gyp
, then npm install
.
Solution 13 - node.js
Ensure that you have the latest npm installed.
npm install -g npm@latest
Solution 14 - node.js
I also faced the same issue, what I did is I reinstall the nodejs
