Windows

Node has known issues installing modules in Windows. Three things must be in place before installing. 1. Install Visual C++ Build Tools 2. Install Python 2.7 and run npm config set python python2.7 3. Open a terminal and run npm config set msvs_version 2015

Alternatively, Microsoft have offered an npm package to install all this and can be run (in an elevated Power Shell) with npm install -g windows-build-tools.
