Details for installing on windows

[Jdash99]

Can you give me a more detailed explanation of how to install this module.

This is the actual explanation:

Use a Windows 7 on x64. Install Visual Studio (2013 is OK on Windows 7) and Python 2.7.x Always specify the VisualStudio version using --msvs_version=xxxx, foor instancenpm i --msvs_version=2013

Release using npm run release-win --msvs_version=2013 (x64) or npm run release-win-ia32 --msvs_version=2013 (ia32)

I have these questions:

• It is not possible to install simply using npm install electron-printer?
• To build I need to download the zip, extract it and only then follow your instructions, right?
• If I have Win 10 (64 bits) and have installed visual studio community version 2015 do I have to use npm run release-win --msvs_version=2015?

These are basics questions, but i'm clueless right now...

Thanks for the help

The purpose of this module is to NOT build it locally. If you can do that, you can use directly the node-printer module. Simply use npm install electron-printer --save

OK thank you, I was able to use the node-printer module after all.
