When trying to install strapi with npx create-strapi-app#latest my-project
, an error appears. Everything used to work fine, now it doesn't want to install. In general, I can not solve the problem anywhere. Also tried reinstalling Python, node, sqlite3, gyp and nothing helped. Here is the error code

Keep trying!
Oh, it seems that you encountered errors while installing dependencies in your project.
Don't give up, your project was created correctly.```
Check the most suited node version from strapi doc.
https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/installation/cli.html#preparing-the-installation
in my case, I simply downgraded my node version from 18 to 16, and the strapi installed everything without a single error or warning.
Not sure why, but the error states this:

I’m guessing you are missing some node js dependencies, you prolly want to re download node and check the Install Prerequisites check box https://nodejs.org/en/download/
The error probably points to some VC_redist

althogh I've searched to get this error solved I couldn't find any proper solution.
Visual Studio 2019 with complete C++ developer tools is installed as well as Python.

Does anybody know what could be done to get rid of that error?
I've set npm config set msvs_version 2019 --global, but I still get VCINSTALLDIR not set, not running in VS Command Prompt and could not use PowerShell to find Visual Studio 2017 or newer
Btw, bcryptjs itself is getting installed but i think without some extras?
When I use yarn the whole compilation process works fine, so I think it's an annoying configuration error that I can't find.
Is there a manual way to set the VS directory?
I've tryied this solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/59882818/13609359 but with no success.
Many thanks in advance

Well, after struggling around for more than two hours I came up with that solution:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
No easy way to find out that you need to install an extra package to get the compilation done (yarn gets it done out of the box as it should be).
Hopefully this solution can help others too, as it seems to be a huge problem installing packages that have a compiling process involved.
In my case npm install --global --production windows-build-tools resulted in an infinite loop as i already had visual studio installed.
So i went to my visual studio installer and from the modified option added the Desktop development with C++ (It was not added before). After successful installation all worked fine.
I previously had python installed and was using Visual Studio 2019 Community edition
I have a problem with yarn add && yard build.
Especially node-sass
Whenever I'm trying to run node-sass it is giving me this error

I really don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions, please?
I encountered the same error message when performing npm install node-sass. The only solution for me at the moment is to choose an older node version. Both v14 and v12 did not work, so I went back to v10. Luckily I had Node installed using nvm. You can run nvm install v10.22.1, for example. Use nvm ls-remote to see the available versions.
One difference, however, is that I tried to execute it on a Mac (System Darwin 19.6.0)
On Windows, When I try to install wdio, I have a python error :
but python is installed and in the path.
the PYTHON variable is set to "C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe", which is a correct path.
I don't know where the error is coming from, since it says it can find the executable, bit show the right path to the executable.

You need to install Python 2.7 since node-gyp is not compatible with Python 3.x. See e.g. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
I had to reinstall node when I had similar issue ( this just updated to the current stable) Although before that I had updated every other thing while trying a solution including python for windows and node-gyp (npm install -g node-gyp). The node js update finally did it

You've probably moved on at this point, but for future googlers:
Upgrade to D3.js v3.5.4+
jsdom is a dependency of d3, and jsdom requires contextify, which uses native modules (node-gyp). Native modules are hard to build on some platforms, so d3 made jsdom a development dependency (not installed by default) as of v3.5.4.

node-syslog is an optional dependency, npm prints errors when it fails to build it, and then continues to install strongloop. Or, that is what npm is supposed to do, and does usually.
Its impossible to know from above whether strongloop actually installed correctly or not.
As for the "suspicious" path, that is npm printing out that it is calling its own internal copy of node-gyp. No idea why it uses the .. and all, you could ask them, but its not a problem.
