I have node x64 v0.8.16 and node-gyp v0.8.1

I had Python 2.7.3, .Net Framework 4, Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express, Windows 7 64-bit SDK and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler.

I already restarted my PC. What did I miss?

Answer 1

Try install node-gyp

npm install -g node-gyp

Also what version of python do you have installed I believe you need 2.7
