I have been working on this all day and have tried lots of different things:
- Uninstalling node and installing latest version
- Using the
--msvs_version=flag set to2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 - Deleting the .node-gyp folder
- Adding python path to .npmrc like so:
python=C:\Python27\python.exe npm -g install npm@next- Running
node-gyp rebuildandnode-gyp configure - Following Robert Kehoe's guide
Rough times.
The package is an Electron/React app and I am running Windows 10. Console output for npm install is
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\x64\Microsoft.Cpp.x64.Targets(514,5): error MSB8008: Specif ied platform toolset (v120) is not installed or invalid.

And for node-gyp rebuild:
gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: C:\Users\scheinerbock\Desktop\mpstudio) while trying to load binding.gyp
I am well out of my wheelhouse here and would appreciate any suggestions or information in addition to solutions.

I am using macos catalina 10.15.5 and i faced the same issues and all the above solutions didn't worked for me. I was able to resolve this by running
npm i -g node-gyp@latest && npm config set node_gyp "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js"Hope this helps people.
2create a binding.gyp file and place it in your project root. the content of the file looks like this:
{ "targets": [ { "target_name": "binding", "sources": [ "src/binding.cc" ] } ]
}A binding.gyp file describes the configuration to build your module, in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of your package, alongside package.json. see here:
Try downgrade npm version to v6:
npm install -g npm@6 or downgrade node version to v12 together use nvm
Ref:
See this thread, maybe it helps.
node-gyp uses Visual Studio for building on Windows, so I guess the issue comes from your VS installation.
Judging from this path (C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild), looks like it requires a newer version (perhaps Visual Studio 2015 where MSBuild was first introduced).
1Make sure that you have python 2.x version installed & not 3.x For me it worked after i installed python 2.6
Had tried so many solutions, this one seemed to work instantly for me. Install g++ and cmake, with command 'apt install make g++', for windows I believe these have thier website for downloading.
- for make | - for g++ (If not search gcc on google)
I haven't tested this for windows, this worked for me with the apt command on Linux.
