(node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0) - node installing error

Question

When I run: npm install -g sails

I get this error/warning: (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

I have tried:

npm install -g node-gyp
npm update
npm install

nothing seems to work. I used to have sails up and running on my machine untill I uninstalled it. Now that I want to use it again it refuses to install the package. Any suggestions?

Which operating system are you using? – aclave1 Mar 29 '15 at 23:43 — aclave1, Mar 29 '15 at 23:43

npm install -g npm
npm install -g sails

eventually I solved this by rebooting my windows machine and open the nodejs command prompt as an admin and installing sails.

Try this

npm install sails --msvs_version=2013 -g

The --msvs_version=<.net version> part should refer to the version of .NET you have installed on your windows pc.
