Errors during installation ( npm install )?

Question

npm

Hello! Previously, I made up projects for practice, but that was at least half a year ago.
I decided the other day to install everything, to make up, but troubles began. A sheet of bugs.
Installed nvm further node + npm installed galp globally. I go to the project folder where there is already a package.json and run npm install, the installation is in progress, but at the end there are a lot of errors. Linux, Windows - the same effect. I tried to update dependencies via npm-check-updates - the issue was not resolved. I installed a new node-gyp and even installed python2.7 separately under it. in tyrnet I saw a statement that he allegedly has troubles with python versions higher than 2.7. In general, I'm at an impasse. Maybe I'm not digging there at all. Help.

Answer 1

Install a pouf, obviously. On most linux it is out of the box, what kind of distribution do you have?
Well, it is not recommended to use a non-lts node, many packages do not have time to catch up.

Answer 2

With choco , you can install all dependencies:
choco install python2 visualcpp-build-tools -y
