Error while installing lithium-sdk on Windows 10


Running into 'Failed at the node-sass@3.13.1 postinstall script' error while trying to install lithium-sdk on Windows using - npm install -global lithium-sdk



Error: ' This is a bug in `node-gyp`.'


I have the prerequisites installed: 

windows-build-tools
gulp

Node is set to 11.15.0 via NVM(Running into the same error with 8.3.0, of which the ss is)

Build tools is set to 2017 using - npm config set msvs_version 2017

Any help would be appreciated!

    I'm not sure if it will address your specific issue, but I've found the following thread useful in the past for getting lithium-sdk installed on Windows: https://community.khoros.com/t5/Developer-Discussion/How-to-Install-the-Lithium-Community-SDK-on-Windows/td-p/430762

    Installation steps do seem to be very sensitive to versions of components that are used. Here are steps that have worked for me:

    choco install rsync -y
choco install nodejs-lts --version=10.24.1 -y
npm install --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
npm install -g gulp 
npm install -g lithium-sdk

     A couple of notes:

    • These steps must be run as a user with local administrator rights.
    • This was a while ago now, and versions may have changed in ways that make these steps no longer work.

      This seems to work just fine. I guess the issue was with the version that I was using. I had rsync and windows-build-tools 2015 set up already. But changed the Node version to from 11.15.0 to 10.24.1 using nvm. And, it seems like that was the original issue. Thanks a lot!
