Node js ошибка установки

asked Dec 7, 2014 at 15:12

Everything should be installed in %appdata% (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming), not ‘program files’.

Here’s why…

The default MSI installer puts Node and the NPM that comes with it in ‘program files’ and adds this to the system path, but it sets the user path for NPM to %appdata% (c:\users[username]\appdata\roaming) since the user doesn’t have sufficient priveleges to write to ‘program files’.

This creates a mess as all modules go into %appdata%, and when you upgrade NPM itself — which NPM themselves recommend you do right away — you end up with two copies: the original still in ‘program files’ since NPM can’t erase that, and the new one inn %appdata%.

Even worse, if you mistakenly perform NPM operations as admin (much easier on Windows then on *nix) then it will operate on the ‘program files’ copy of NPM node_modules. Potentially a real mess.

So, when you run the installer simply point it to %appdata% and avoid all this.

And note that this isn’t anything wierd — it’s what would happen if you ran the installer with just user priveleges.

You should run the installer as administrator.

1. Run the command prompt as administrator
2. cd directory where msi file is present
3. launch msi file by typing the name in the command prompt
4. You should be happy to see all node commands work from new command prompt shell

The reason why you have to modify the AppData could be:

1. Node.js couldn’t handle path longer then 256 characters, windows tend to have very long PATH.
2. If you are login from a corporate environment, your AppData might be on the server — that won’t work. The npm directory must be in your local drive.

Even after doing that, the latest LTE (4.4.4) still have problem with Windows 10, it worked for a little while then whenever I try to:

$ npm install _some_package_ --global 

Node throw the «FATAL ERROR CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed — process out of memory» error. Still try to find a solution to that problem.

The only thing I find works is to run Vagrant or Virtual box, then run the Linux command line (must matching the path) which is quite a messy solution.

I had the same problem, but after trying everything on this post unsuccessfully, I just had to restart.
So if you haven’t tried restarting the computer after the installation, try it.

Restart your computer after installation

I am installing a certain NodeJS script — Caress. But i am not unable to. I am using Windows 8.1, can anyone tell me what is the problem i am facing, and why is this installation not working. There seems to be a problem with the buffertools dependency, thats far as i can think. Dont know how maybe fix this?

If i download the build from github and place it in node-modules, nothing seems to work. when i try to start, using npm start, or during implementation either.

G:\nodejs\node_modules\caress-server>npm install

G:\nodejs\node_modules\caress-server>npm start

should be able get all node-gyp dependencies with chocolatey for Windows

choco install python2
choco install visualstudioexpress2013windowsdesktop

answered Mar 15, 2016 at 20:54

Setup JavaScript Environment

1. Install Node.js

Download installer at NodeJs website. You can download the latest V6

2. Update Npm

Npm is installed together with Node.js. So don’t worry.

3. Install Anaconda

Anaconda is the leading open data science platform powered by Python. The open source version of Anaconda is a high performance distribution of Python. It can help you to manage your python dependency. You can use it to create different python environment in the futher if you want to touch with it.

Node-gyp only support >= Python 2.7 and < Python 3.0

So just install the 2.7 version

4. Install Node-gyp

You can install with npm:


$ npm install -g node-gyp


You will also need to install:

• On Windows:

  • Option 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).

  • Option 2: Install tools and configuration manually:

  • Visual C++ Build Environment:

    • Option 1: Install Visual C++ Build Tools using the Default Install option.
    • Option 2: Install Visual Studio 2015 (or modify an existing installation) and select Common Tools for Visual C++ during setup. This also works with the free Community and Express for Desktop editions.

    💡 [Windows Vista / 7 only] requires .NET Framework 4.5.1

  • Launch cmd, npm config set msvs_version 2015

  If the above steps didn’t work for you, please visit Microsoft’s Node.js Guidelines for Windows for additional tips.

If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp uses by setting the ‘—python’ variable:


$ node-gyp --python C:/Anaconda2/python.exe


If node-gyp is called by way of npm and you have multiple versions of Python installed, then you can set npm‘s ‘python’ config key to the appropriate value:


$ npm config set python C:/Anaconda2/python.exe


Future update for Node.js and npm

Download installer from their official website and direct install it. The installer will automatic help you to remove old files.

npm update npm

Future update for Python

conda update --all

gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can’t find Python
executable «python», you can set the PYT HON env variable.

This means the Python env. variable should point to the executable python file, in my case:
SET PYTHON=C:\work\_env\Python27\python.exe

For Cygwin users:

The python issue with using npm on an out-of-the-box Cygwin installation, is that node-gyp is giving a misleading error due to incomplete checking in the ../npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js code.

It’s due to how Cygwin treats symbolic links. It doesn’t do that properly in an out-of-the box installation. So the error messages from the above code become misleading, as it complains about the PYTHON path and not the existence of python.exe (or link of) file itself.

There are (at least) 2 ways to resolve this.

1. Installing the Cygwin package cygutils-extra and use winln.
2. Use native Windows CMD in Admin mode.

For (1) you can create a proper symlink from within Cygwin shell by doing these steps:

# To make the Cygwin environment treat Windows links properly: 
# Alternatively add this to your `.bashrc` for permanent use.
export CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict

# Install Cygwin package containing "winln"
apt-cyg install cygutils-extra

# Make a proper Windows sym-link:
cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/
winln.exe -s python2.7.exe python.exe

# Add PYTHON as a native Windows system wide variable (HKLM) 
setx /M PYTHON "C:\cygwin64\bin\python"

(Also assuming you are running the Cygwin shell as Admin.)
Using apt-cyg is recommended and can be found in various forms on github.

For (2) the resolution for out-of-the-box Cygwin users is this:

# Open a native Windows CMD in Administrator mode and:
cd C:\cygwin64\bin\
mklink python.exe python2.7.exe

The result should look like this:

C:\cygwin64\bin>ls -al python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx            xxx   13 Jun  2  2015 python -> python2.7.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators xxx   13 Aug 24 17:28 python.exe -> python2.7.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx            xxx   13 Jun  2  2015 python2 -> python2.7.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xxx            xxx 9235 Jun  2  2015 python2.7.exe

for me the solution was:

rm -rf  ~/.node_gyp and
sudo npm install -g node-gyp@3.4.0
cd /usr/local/lib sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib 
brew install gcc
npm install

I was installing appium by npm install -g appium and getting the same error on Windows 10.

Below command worked for me:

npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

The question is already answered but these were not working in my case which is alpine Linux based OS so maybe this helps someone else.

I was also getting same error

gyp ERR! configure error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

So fix by single line just add this if you are working in Dockerfile or install it in OS

apk add --no-cache python nodejs

in ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python3.6

Note: Node version:8

install node-gyp and c++ compiler (gcc-c++).
