在node.js中使用'scrypt'模块时出现'找不到指定的模块'错误

Question

I'm trying to use 'scrypt' module. The problem is that when I try to run my nodejs application (node app.js), I get this error:

C:\Users\A\Documents\B\C>node app.js

module.js:356
  Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);
                               ^
Error: The specified module could not be found.

I installed 'scrypt' module with this line:

npm install scrypt -msvs_version=2012

the -msvs_version is taken from this answer

You should have a look at this node-scrypt issue .

According to what is said there, you should be able to solve your problem by

• either installing OpenSSL for Windows
• or installing and building with Visual Studio 2010
