NPM install BCRYPT error: MSB8003

Question

I'm trying to install the bcrypt package with the command line

npm install bcrypt

But the prompt returns an error:

I've installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, i tried wth --msvs_version=2015 but i still had this error. Could you help me?

I'm using Windows 10 x64, Node.js 0.12.7, npm 2.11.3 and node-gyp 2.0.2

Answer 1

Follow the instruction properly given in node-gyp and bcrypt. Which require proper python version , visual studio etc..

or you can also use

https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcryptjs

Which doesnot have any depedency like vistual studio on Windows machine.
