[ghachey]

So for this project I need to work on Windows. Trying to install this resutls in the following. I have otheriwse no issues installing and using other npm packages including grunt plugins which we have been using as our build system.

>npm install --save-dev grunt-conventional-changelog

> buffertools@2.1.4 install c:\myproject\node_modules\buffertools
> node-gyp rebuild

c:\myproject\node_modules\buffertools>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )  else (node "" rebuild )

I'm not using Windows. PR welcome. Ideally setting up a Windows CI would be appreciated 😄

[ghachey]

Well, I don't use windows either :) Only for this project, but will see if I can get around doing it
