VC 2010 -
Python 2.7 (and 3.4) installed - installed and added to %path%
File "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js" fixed as recommended from here
https: //github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/commit/2a3...
I don't know what else to do.

Answer 1

Well, apparently, the build script uses the rm shell command, which is not in windows. Try using cygwin as a console, its coreutils package has the rm command.
In general, there are a lot of rakes regarding this. I would advise you to install Vagrant and continue developing in a Debian or Ubuntu virtual machine.

Answer 2

There are a lot of troubles on Windows.
To begin with, you need to leave only Python 2.7, I did not prescribe the path, net framework sdk 4.5 is also necessary, visual studio 2008 express (comes with the shel integrator), visual c ++ 2010.
After such "dances" it worked for me. It should be noted that some modules on Windows are not installed locally at all, you must use the -g switch.
