Facing issue while npm install in windows

I tried to npm install bitpay-rest in windows 10. But I am facing the below issue. npm install bitpay-rest

secp256k1@1.1.5 install G:\bitpay-node\node_modules\secp256k1 node-gyp rebuild

I saw in previous issues that bitcore isn't supported in Windows back in 2014. Is there any update on that cause in https://bitcore.io/guides/wallet-service I am unable to find configuration steps for Windows.

Here as well

So, turns out this issue is due to a dependency on an old version of secp256k1 that does not build on Windows due to relying on a shell script. This has long since been fixed, but this still depends on it. If BitPay does not support building on Windows systems, then maybe system requirements should be listed.

For more details see cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node/issues/20

I think the issue here is actually with the bitauth library, which depends on the old version of secp256k1.

I believe this is the solution. https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools

Please let me know if this worked.
