Install Fails at node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

I have tried to install hummus a few times, and always get this error message.

Failed to execute 'node-gyp.cmd configure --fallback-to-build --module=C:\Users\cfloyd\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\hummus\binding\hummus.node --module_name=hummus --module_path=C:\Users\cfloyd\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\hummus\binding' (1) npm ERR!

prbbly cause you don't have build tools. See #198

I actually have seen some windows devices that will never be able to install even in the same windows Version. I have to build and copy it over. Maybe it's a good idea to have some prebuilt version for some major windows system?

@galkahana, we have already created multiple prebuilt versions for windows 10 (or server 2016). if we send to you, could you upload them, please? if so, can we provide the zip file instead with the same contents as the other tar files?

I am also getting the same error in CentOS. How can I fix?. In the local machine, I am using ubuntu 14.04 its working fine. I have tried in windows with installing all these. In windows also not working. Please help me to fix the issue

npm i -g --production windows-build-tools
npm install --global node-gyp
npm install --global node-pre-gyp

I am experiencing this issue on an older repo of mine (Mar 2018). Before troubleshooting I couldn't run the app locally on my Mac. The windows build tool that @galkahana mentions is not helped to me.

$ node -v
v5.0.0

$ npm -v
3.3.6

I tried...

npm install --global node-gyp
npm install --global node-pre-gyp

The error was still thrown, but now the app is running when I type npm start This is not important enough for me to debug further.

I am also facing this issue with hummus. if I try with the node (v4.9.1) it works fine but whenever I try to update node version then it's not able to install again.

Fixed this issue on a Ubuntu Digital Ocean server by downgrading Node version to 10.16.0. Was using 15.x.x. I used nvm and it worked great.
