Answer 1

You should never change files in NODE_MODULES library folder.

Those files are result of npm install command.

Basicaly, I think for Windows users - right way is use VM. It's what I'm doing when I work from home.

All you need:

for CentOS: yum install gcc gcc-c++ make openssl-devel

for Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install build-essential

and then npm install or, if you have already done it - npm update
