What I've tried
Downloading the windows-build-tools package
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Manually installing the tools from this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159 and doing npm config set msvs_version 2015 –global.
Installing python2.7 and doing npm config set python python2.7
The Error
C:\Users\Thaddea>npm install gpu.js --global
