installing d3 using npm causes contextify errors - d3.js

Getting some mystifying contextify errors (but other installs seem to go fine.)
npm install d3
MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 2) install
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere.

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.

I get an error when trying to install strapi

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

I can not do yarn add because node-sass fails

I have a problem with yarn add && yard build.
Especially node-sass

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)

You need to update your node version. Canvas doesn't support node 4.x.

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.
