Windows install broken

[Harry Pujols]

First, I realized I needed Python installed, and you know Windows doesn't have it pre-installed. Then I had to fix Python's PATH. Once I set it up and finally ran the Python script, it threw me this error:

npm ERR! pty.js@0.2.3 install: `node-gyp rebuild`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the pty.js@0.2.3 install script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the pty.js package,

I had tried to install it unsuccessfully in at least two different machines running Windows.

@harrypujols, could you post the npm-debug.log? It looks like npm is trying to read from it to display some more useful output, but it can't because you don't have the proper permissions.

[Harry Pujols]

Seems like either it didn't generate an npm-debug.log file, or I can't locate it. I haven't been able to find it.

I wasn't able to locate the global install npm-debug.log, but I tried installing it in a folder, and it indeed generated a file. I don't know how to share it with you, since it's quite long, and I'm not able to paste its contents in this comment.

It's very tedious process to get tty.js using "npm install tty.js" in windows 7. I started with this command in my command prompt. It asked to install python, so I went for python 2.7 installation. Then it is asking me to install Visual Studio 2008, which I can not install.Because this takes lot of time. And I am not sure that works or not after installing Visual Studio 2008. Can someone help please on this ?

I installed python2. I installed Visual Studio 2013. I installed the Windows SDK. And now I'm STILL getting errors beacuse of:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBCMT.lib' [C:\Users\Ashley\test\node_modules\tty.js\node_modul 
es\socket.io\node_modules\socket.io-client\node_modules\ws\build\validation.vcxproj]
