Error with node-pre-gyp when installing sqlite3

At work we have a Website (WIP), that gets some data of an SQLite Database. As the Website uses Javascript as Backend, we tried to install sqlite3 on the Server where we host the site inofficially for demonstration.

It uses Windows 7 (32 Bit), with 2 GB RAM. Node and NPM, are installed, the only trouble occurs when we try "npm install sqlite3". That part runs without errors, but when "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build" gets executed, it results in this error:

2778 warn [email protected] No description

2790 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I already updated node, npm, globally installed node-gyp, updated windows, installed Python 2.7 but that didn't help. Current Versions are:

Node: v10.16.3
NPM: v6.9.0

This is common problem, it happens when you change your node version, while not rebuilding npm package

Make following steps

  1. Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator). reference
  2. npm install -g node-gyp or npm rebuild node-gyp if you have it already
  3. npm install sqlite3
