For npm dependencies, PowerShell is stuck after installing VS Build tools and it says it is still waiting for installer log file to install python?

The command I used (run as administrator):

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Tried these, but any of them didn't work for me:

  • npm install --global windows-build-tools
  • npm install --global [email protected]
  • npm install --global [email protected]
  • npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
  • npm install --global --production [email protected]
  • npm install --global --production [email protected]
  • npm config set msvs_version 2015 global
  • npm config set msvs_version 2017 global

Then Install Chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/install

Followd this resource: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools/issues/172#issuecomment-824916268

$ choco install python visualstudio2017-workload-vctools -y
$ npm config set msvs_version 2017

Got this error when run $ npm i

Error: 'cmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,   operable program or batch file.

Solution:

$ choco uninstall cmake
$ choco install cmake --installargs 'ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System'

Now I don't get any errors when run $ npm i

Another option is to try installing the build tools via Chocolatey instead (use an Administrator command line):

choco install python visualstudio2017-workload-vctools -y
