Update 2024-03-08: This package was deprecated as the dependencies are now installed with node

node-gyp is really useful and annoying. npm install fails if Python 2.7 and a C# Compiler is missing. You could use choco to get and install the missing packages or simply install another npm package:

npm -g windows-build-tools

will install Python 2.7 and the Visual Studio Build tools that are required by node-gyp.
