Answer 1

Run below command in cmd with administrator priviledges:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2017

Answer 2

None of these answers worked for me on Windows 10 and Node 13. I had to uninstall Visual Studio and Build Tools, and uninstall Node 13. Then, I deleted npm and npm-cache from Roaming, before reinstalling Node 11.6 and choosing to install Chocolately. It worked for me thereafter.

Answer 3

1. run: npm cache clean --force
2. delete node_modules
3. delete packagelock.json and yarn.lock(if have)
4. run: npm install
