  <p>All other packages including <code>node-gyp</code> install fine. Ive found a few threads with people that have had similar problems, but none of their solutions have worked. As per the suggestion of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21365714/nodejs-error-installing-with-npm">this</a> answer I tried these things: </p>
  
  <pre><code>UPDATED 09/2016
  If you're using Windows you can now install all node-gyp dependencies with single command (NOTE: Run As Admin in Windows PowerShell):
  
   $ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
  and then install the package
  
   $ npm install --global node-gyp

  Delete your $HOME/.node-gyp directory and try again.
  
  See full documentation here: node-gyp
