I have been strugelling to install this moudle for more that two days and I couldn't. Could you please let me know which step I'm missing?

Here is the error I get on nodejs:

D:\master\nodeTut>npm install netcdf4

First off, there is no windows support yet. I have a branch with windows working, but there are hardcoded netcdf paths, see here

Besides that, It looks like you have 2 issues:

• Python is not found or installed, node-gyp requires python 2.7 Do you have it installed?
• There is no package.json file in the directory you're trying to install it in. Ensure there is a package.json file (run npm init if there is not)

yes, you will need to install all prerequisites of node-gyp first: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
