I'm trying to install code-server on my Windows machine using npm, but after following the documentation word for word and reading through every comment in this thread for any insight, I still cannot install code-server on my machine. I used node 16.20.2, avoided using yarn, installed all of the prerequisites for node, added node to my path, and ran my commands through git bash, but nothing seems to be working.

Any help is appreciated; my sanity has deteriorated significant since I decided to get involved in this. Attached are the logs of my last installation attempt. 2023-09-28T06_26_36_216Z-debug-0.log

Unfortunately I have not tried building code-server on Windows so I am not going to be too helpful. There appear to be a few errors, but this one stands out to me: Failed to locate: "CL.exe".

I am not entirely certain where that comes from, but make sure you have all the prerequisites here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute

do you have visual studio 2019 build tools and msvc installed?

cannot find module 'minimist' implies that the dependency installation step failed so you might want to try running npm with verbose logging and see if anything shows up.

The installation seems to have no errors

Strange. Is it any different with verbose logging? I have seen npm hide installation errors from the post-install script.
