TL;DR Use the Visual Studio Installer to get the Desktop development with C++ workload in one of the Visual Studio versions you have installed in your machine: 2024 update: also "check the Windows 10 SDK in the installation details" (thanks Nicholas) Reason/Details Reading through the log, the main error is due to this: msvs_version not set from command line or npm config After this one you find a few of these: "Visual Studio C++ core features" missing And later: You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio including the "Desktop development with C++" workload. For more information consult the documentation at: VS https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows Finally: Could not find any Visual Studio installation to use So to solve the problem, you just need to get "Desktop development with C++" workload. If you have a Visual Studio version installed open Visual Studio Installer (Win + search for it) on the list displayed with all Visual Studio Installations you have in your PC, press the Modify button of one of them (preferably the latest version) on the Workloads grid/list select the checkbox with Desktop development with C++ (2024 update: also "check the Windows 10 SDK in the installation details" (thanks Nicholas)) Press one of the Install buttons gyp will then find that version and use it: gyp info find Python using Python version 3.8.1 found at "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe" gyp info find VS using VS2019 (16.4.29709.97) found at: gyp info find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\ With NO Visual Studio installed The following solutions assume you have node installed. Disclaimer: I did not test any of them, but I appreciate everyone that reported them solving this issue. Alternative 0: before installing additional software As kaulshapranav wrote in a couple of comments, slightly shortened/rephrased: windows-build-tools installation log mentions this tools package is deprecated and is already included with node. It corrupts my anaconda installation by installing a separate python 2.7 (...); updating npm version from 6 -> 8 solved the issue. npm comes with node, so the solution: update your node/npm version. However, if you need to retain specific versions, nvm (notice the v) allows to change between them: simple tutorial on how to use nvm. Alternative 1 As Hamid Jolany's answer suggests, on an admin shell, simply install the build tools package globally (node-gyp README): npm i -g windows-build-tools Alternative 2 Ragavan's idea/answer from a similar thread: verify if you have VS build tools by running npm config get msvs_version (if you have, skip to step 4 and attempt setting the environment variables) if not installed, get the VS build tools latest version exe and install it (Ragavan's idea was with or Microsoft Build Tools 2015) run npm config set msvs_version 2019 --global (or npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global according to Ragavan's idea) Possibly optional: set the VCTargetsPathenvironment variable (Win + search for var) to the appropriate path (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v5.0) or through Run as Admin terminal, as in Ragavan's idea with the 2015 Build Tools: set VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140" or in Powershell: $env:VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140 Side notes: a previous error might be resolved by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019; you might also want to restart after installing any of the above
