Getting a error when installing TRUFFLE on windows

Question

I have tried installing truffle on windows powershell with Execution Policy set to "ByPass".

And installing a older version but noting has worked any help is appreciated.

I have node v16.13.0. And have not had any problems before with installing packages.

As well I have the latest version of Virtual studio code.

Answer 1

Hello did u try npm install --g --production windows-build-tools

Similar problem -> node-gyp configure got "gyp ERR! find VS"

Lot of ppl had similiar issue and this command helped

If nothing will help i can recommend u https://remix.ethereum.org/ its online IDE that simulate everything. (I have good experience with it on Ether and solidity)

Answer 2

I fix the problem by uninstalling node.js and reinstall in it. And when i installed node, I checked the box that shows up that installs extra build tools.
